Every time I weld whoever is around hears, “Do you know the difference between a welder and a farmer? Welders don’t think they can farm.”

By far the best part of irrigating is the free car wash

Dad: Growing onions is like an art form. Me: Thats good, be the only form where 90% of the time my work wouldn’t be considered abstract, and you can see what I was trying to do. Dad: *silence

So calling the yard when you’re harvesting to say, “I’m noticing some leeks on the harvester” without specifying the vegetable is “not funny”

Everything looks better after a little rain. Didn’t get a chance to spread rye in the fall after potatoes, spring broadcast barley created a nice cover to planting.
