Well I have had many redneck moments. Here are a couple of them:

1) I had only been farming two years and decided to raise some soybeans. I needed to store them until after the first of the year as the price was a dollar a bushel more. Up to then I had only raised corn and picked it. So all I had was round wire corn cribs to hold my grain. Money was real tight too. I did have a bunch of straw we had baled. So I stacked straw around the inside of one of the corn cribs. I was using a chain elevator to put the soybeans into the crib. So I pulled a wagon load of straw next to the elevator. I was inside the crib stacking the bales while the wife was unloading the soybeans. When ever the soybeans got close to the top of a row of bales the wife would run up straw bales instead of soybeans. I bet half the neighbors drove by several times trying to figure out what we where doing. It worked and we got over 800 bushels in the crib. So that was $800 more income. I did wrap plastic around the outside to keep the straw dry. I used it for bedding.

2) I was raising a lot of hogs at the time. I needed a way to haul them around. Pickups where high priced and big cars where not. So I bought a Ford LTD station wagon for $500. I took all the back seats and interior out of it. I took a 3/4 piece of plywood and made a wall behind the front seats. I found some old wrecked grocery carts. I cut pieces out of them to cover the windows on the inside. So in the summer you could roll down the windows and the hogs could not get out. I took the rear tailgate/door off and made a steel stock gate out of a couple of farrowing grate sides. I made a small loading chute that we hauled on the luggage rack on the top. We could haul ten fat hogs to town in it. We used that old station wagon for 4-5 years. It hauled every hog we bought or sold during that time. We got a lot of funny looks. Now remember this was in the early 1980s. No one had heard of kid car seats. My kids loved to ride in the back of the old station wagon with the windows down. They would squeal like real pigs if we happened to stop at a stop sign or light where other cars would be around. LOL That really got people looking.

Those are about the only two I will admit to actually doing. I have done many more but I will plead the 5th on anything to do with any of them. LMAO.
