TP, I have physically mo-boarded the land, and disc plowed it in preparation for planting a wheat crop. Then I drove the tractor, that pulled the drill, that sowed the seed. In mid-summer, I drove the combine to harvest the wheat, drove the truck to the elevator to store it, or scooped it into the bins to use for seed the next year, and followed up with breaking the ground for the winter. That is not to mention milking cows before we could afford a milking machine, cranking the separator, slopping hogs, and feeding the calves being weaned.

A few years later, I worked cattle from horse back, repaired fences, sunk post holes, pitched bales of hay, and put the salt blocks out in the pastures. I admit, I never could get the hang of roping, but could handle a hot iron, and clip ears.

Yeah, I've worked as a farmer and rancher, so there was no time to watch TV, which didn't exist on many farms of my day. They were too busy making a living and building the country that you are doing your best to tear down. No, I respect all dogs, you I do not!! ~H~
