I have never lived on a farm but I see a great deal of common sense and dignity in farming. Good honest work where you sometimes get back more than you put in..........but other times not. I could ramble on about the wisdom and patience it must teach you but I won't.
My father spent his younger days on a farm in his native Estonia. We always planted huge gardens at home when I was growing up and some of my fondest memories were of my Dad fixing on or operating his old 9N. At least I think it was a 9N, might have been an 8N but I know it was an N. There was always machinery around and I always loved to get my hands dirty. Tractors are such versatile machines. Their usefulness seems endless and to me that is fascinating. I love old equipment because of how it is built. I love to take things apart and find out how they work, then make 'em work like they did when they were new.
My wife and I have horses now but I hardly consider that farming. Perhaps someday we'll get into making our own hay, that seems to me like it would be something I would enjoy but that's a few years down the road. We live in a rural area and directly across the road one neighbor has cattle. It's more rural residential but there are many old farms around here that are still used for hay.
