They seem to work hard and do a good job and do interesting and innovative things. I like the medium time operators the best. So, if they farm 50 acres they are made at the 20,000 acre farmer not because he stole all their ground but because they didn't get the chance to steal it from him. It seems to me that most of the farmers want to farm 20,000 acres and think it is their divine right to do so as they are better farmers than anyone else. People are more insecure and less able to take a joke. I guess it is just the whole change in society. You can't make rude comments and people get really hostile when jokes are made about cleaning oil off the shop cat with a match. I suppose I'm getting a bit cynical, probably due to my own lack of success but I really get bored by pictures of the same big new John Deere and the same 24 row planter with Greenstar in the spring and the same fleet of John Deere combines in the fall. I used to post photos of our old stuff and get a fair amount of entertainment out of fellow bottom feeders.Įveryone seemed to enjoy calling people BTO's (big time operators) but there were only a few really obnoxious ones. When i joined NAT I got a lot of good info on No-Till planting and Great Plains drills. Old Pokey also did not like the bickering and that is why he cut down on his posting.)
Ed was always a pretty positive influence and I think the ill-will made his pretty frustrated. (Edit: I didn't mean that Ed and OP had be sniping. I was wandering around NAT looking for Ed Winkle and Old Pokey and I didn't realize they have all been sniping at each other for the past year. I used to post at lot at Yesterday's tractors but moved over to NAT when I bought the no-till drill. I thought it was 2005 but I think I was a lurker for a while.
