Read through all or most of both threads on the subject and am pretty much just shaking my head.
It seems that some people think (and I may be overstating the case to some extent) that ONLY "True" farmers that make their entire living from crops and/or animals should be allowed to own animals, tractors, farm equipment or trucks. Unbelievable.
Apparently I was mistaken and my Dad was not a "real" farmer since he had a full time job as an industrial electrician. That 120 acres of cash crops and hay and the 20 or so head of beef critters he finished every year was just a hobby. Huh. Could've fooled me.
I am not a farmer, never have been, never will be. But I like animals and enjoy having them around. So, up until recently, I kept several dozen chickens, both layers and meat birds, and a dozen or so sheep on my little patch. Have owned trucks since 1974. At one point I owned THREE tractors, nearly one per acre. All this time, I've been a poser and didn't even notice.
Fortunately, I've also got a fairly thick skin and don't much give a rat's rump what other folks think. I'll continue to do just as I dam* please and keep whatever critters and equipment makes me happy. If that gets your panties in a bunch, that's your problem, not mine.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
