[quote:1608f1b64a="docmirror"](quoted from post at 12:09:00 01/15/19) [quote=I live in a suburb. City on one side, farm country on the other. I know my limitations. I've said here, and will say again - I could not be a farmer. Y'all have my utmost respect and admiration, because I know what it takes to put food on my table. Long hours, sun beating down, heavy rain, wind, hail - farmer doesn't get a break, ya have to do what needs doing. It's a hard life, and I thank all the farmers/ranchers who stick with it.
Having said that, I used to be a recording engineer a long time ago for A&M records, and worked with several radio stations on production. They have a job too, and that is to sell Chevys, and malt liquor, hardware, travel trips, Hondas, furniture, and anything else an advertiser wants to offer. That means they need to program what people want to listen to, so that the audience will buy the advertised product. I gotta say, a program about growing corn or beans, or soy will likely not garner the same audience as a show about college football(and not just in TX either).
So, radio is radio, and farming is farming. Having worked in radio, they have none of my respect, but at least I understand what they are doing. Having never worked in farming, I don't understand it, but I do respect it. Thank you for feeding me and my family. When it comes to entertainment in my car - no offense, but I'd rather hear about college ball than growing corn/wheat/beans/soy.[/quote:1608f1b64a]
Well said and thank you for your respect.
From a former truck driver and now full time farmer.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. 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.
