Do farmers love anything more than having someone take an aerial picture of their house/barn? Every farm kid I grew up with had one on the wall.
Planting Ponderosa Pines as a status symbol.
fun farming status symbol story
my grandpa took the 4wd dozer tractor down to the creek one day. he spent like all morning and around lunch time he had a rock that was probably 5'x5'x4' tall chained to the 3point hitch dragging down the road. I think he dug it out of the site of an old rail bridge
he parked it right in the front of the yard and left it there. my dad's like "uh, what's that for" and my grandpa says "all the rich folks have big rocks in their yards" and that was the end of the discussion. and to this day I have never seen such a big solitary rock in anyone's yard in my life.
I went back looking at photos and didn't find any of the rock but did find a pretty good "iron pile" photo
