No big rock on the cat ranch or any of the neighboring farms. We have a 4ft tall stone pillar with our last name on it by the driveway but that was done professionally. Most of the big operations have a huge billboard type sign that says "Smith Family Farms -Established 1898" with farming type art in the background.


One neighbor does have an old 1940's rusted pickup out front with flowers planted where the engine was and in the bed, that looks pretty cool.

Honestly we don’t really have any old farm pickups. We have a lot of old farm semi trucks and dump trucks and implements and stuff like that though. Pickups that do irl farm work don’t let long enough to get old.

How many miles does it have/good condition/is it still used daily?

Benji pro tip.. no one usually knows actual mileage. Best way to tell usually is the brake pedal. Most of those have rolled over mileage wise once or twice or more

I would have to check.  We planned on using it for lite farm work. It was being used pretty steadily when we bought it.

My gpa’ work truck was a 1980 Ford that had been converted to propane because gpa thought gas prices were too high.

In 2010 it had about 70k miles on it.

I watched the first 2 episodes of Clarksons Farm on Amazon and may continue watching it.

Basic premise is Jeremy Clarkson (Some famous brit from a car show) bought a farm like 10 years ago and the guy who was farming it retired so he is gonna farm it himself.

That's classic.   Our version had vinyl stickers for the crops, livestock, equipment.

This version was probably made in the last 8 years or so. When I was a kid, getting my cool older cousin to play Farming Game with me was the best thing that could happen.

It is.  It's better if you've ever watched much of BBC's Top Gear.

Finished watching this show and its pretty good. It was filmed during fall 2019/ summer 2020 so its a time capsule of covid but I enjoyed at the end of the last episode where he met with his farm manager to see how much he made during the year. It was 144 pounds (would of been like 90,144 pounds with the previous year's prices) and then this conversations ensued.

Farm Manager: Well that plus the subsidies of the government

Jeremy Clarkson: Well who knows how long that could last


I LOL'D.

We are now a raccoon ranch. Word is that the cats have a truce with them and everything is pretty civil.

Lol, looks like the coons are getting the ole tried and true kibble mixed with leftovers.

Pretty soon the Dave crew will be filling those same aluminum containers with scrambled eggs covered in milk or crock pot chicken as they expand their coon herd.
