Farming is so different now than it was 50, 25, 10 years ago.
So many of the issues have been addressed. Not settled, but addressed, things are changing.
The media/ town folk/ twitter peoples all want a change in 24 hours and that doesn’t happen. We need to turn the ship some and that takes time.
I think we have been bending over backwards trying to turn the ship some out here in the country.
And it doesn’t seem to matter, it doesn’t make a difference.
We still get run over by the crazy folk.
So, what am I supposed to do? More more more more at every changing whim?
What have they done? Do they care what I have done? Do they even know what it is I do? Do they understand what it is they even want?
I’m exhausted watching them make demands that take 7 years to show up/ get paid for; and then changing entirely the list of demands in 2 years in a totally different direction.
And so you see the push back from farmers. As small a voice as we are, we are tired of the nonsensical demands and see saw demands of these folk.
We are doing stuff, heck farming is changing so fast who can keep up? My list above is a tip of the iceberg. There is almost nothing I did in the 1970s that I still do today the same way, everything is more efficient, less fuel, less slop, more metered out to the teaspoon ful.
It’s not perfect and we can keep learning and changing and we will.
But enough with the nonsense we get shoved at us?
Eh?
That’s were the ‘unreasonable’ farmers are at.
Dad put buffers along our ditch in 1960s because we can use the hay and the field road. But does anyone care, do I get any credit? Nope I’m just another dumb farmer that needs to be regulated more and taxed more.
So why the hell try? You tell me I should try harder. Why? Why bother? It won’t ever be good enough for the Governor Dayton’s of the world, they have the power from the city folk and just make crap up and take away from me.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
