Not much time for a lot of that- I generally spend at least an hour walking every day and now the work in the garden is starting and then there's bowling and the casino and then there's puzzles to keep the brain functional.

A farmer needs to throw down and dig in crazy hours when the time comes, being it seeding or harvest or as their own mechanic or hydraulics specialist and so on and so forth. Most folks I know that farm do mixed farming/ranching so it's time consuming.

Don't worry - we also have "farmers" who spend their entire day on here.

Which is normal for farmers. There is very little to do in that profession.


You obviously have a lot to learn about farming. It starts about 4 A.M. seven days a week and ends after dark. There's no such thing as a day off unless you have a lot of money to pay someone. You better just stick to "city slickin'".

I know Twin Moose spent the whole day explaining that he couldn't find a farm tractor that ran on anything but petroleum that would run for 14 hours a day.

Not unless you get an extension cord that is longer than the distance from the park where you live to the beer store.

But we have the added issue that if you cannot speak a level 2 French, you can't be hired.


There is one of the many government rules that make things difficult for no reason except being PC.
Then there is the problem of not recognizing credentials from other countries. Most trades have this problem as well.

How about since you never have anything intelligent to say you just not be here?

We have a small mixed farm (reduced down because of my work) my son does a lot on it, my dad who is 80 this year helps a lot, while I work away from home sometimes up to 12 hours away, and help out where and when I can. My biggest job right now is to help make it grow back up again for my son. We don't do dairy that's very time/labour intensive, we are just about calved out, and starting to pull equipment out for seeding.


Every morning I log on read news paste and post on here walk away do a bunch of chores come back to see what your trolling on about correct you and carry on, that's when I'm at home. When I'm at work I'm able to correct you a lot more often Lol.

If you don't keep moving the goal posts you would recall you said there was alternatives available, I just asked you for an example I could purchase this spring and you couldn't come up with any.

well that absolutely explains your complete ;lack of interest in an electric technology that would be many times more efficient and dependable than IC.

Do you understand that electric tractors also eliminate the need for hydraulics?

I find it amazing since every farmer I know is obsessively pursuing even the slightest increase in productivity.

The green was by mistake, I couldn't believe what you wrote on what universe do you live in that there is no need for Hydraulics for farm equipment? That is utter BS and you have better come up with a credible link for that comment, every piece of equipment on the farm uses hydraulics to operate and will continue for a very long time.

Outside of dairy which is daily up at 4am milking by 5am, let's review your post in 3 weeks when there are tractors driving up and down roads and fields by 5am, prep for the day begins by 4am


No use trying to explain anything to that particular poster. He is guided solely by "his truth". There's another term for that...………………..the initials are "B" and "S". :)
