Agricultural Word Usage

60 acre,

That seems right.

Dad raised hogs and grew corn and beans. Though I think one could "raise" crops too...but it would seem wrong to "grow" critters.
 
Word useage can change with time, but your words seem right to me.

I did a search on Google for "Trouble Lights", which is what I called them for 65 - 70 years and didn't come up with anything. Then I found out that they are now called "Work Lights". It's still the same light that's been around since electricity became common.
 
Depends on which end of the food chain yer on...
Ifn yer a consumer then the "growers" are "rich farmers". Ifn yer on the producer end I think Ya grow crops, pull teats or raise livestock!
 


















To help answer your question on growing corn and raising livestock consider this: do we grow children or raise children????? Armand
 
Not me. I'm not ready for the 2.0 upgrade yet. I'm still a farmer.

This reminds me of an IDIOT,doped up,from the city neighbor that we have. I mentioned a cow "bulling" one time in the coffee shop and the brain dead moron started laughing and practically rolling on the floor at the term. I told him that if I was going to move somewhere that I didn't belong,I think I might learn a little terminology before I made a total fool of myself.
 
Maybe it's just a Michigan thing,or a dairy farmer thing,or a Swede thing,but it's always been the recognized term around here all of my life.
 
OK ,,So when they talk about kids in school having a problem with bullying does that mean there in heet :? :? :? :?
 
The reason they call them TROUBLE LIGHTS is that you have trouble finding a place to hang them and when you do they are either in your way or they fall on you and ya get burnt , so hence they are trouble.

If ignorance equates to idiot,I be guilty cause I don'ts know what some terms and words mean they use over in the hood. :lol:
 
Now consider this: This conservation is only about the U. S. version of the English language. Than there is all the other versions: English from Great Briton, English from "Down Under ie new Zealand and Australia" English from the country of India and also maby Candian English. Where does it stop! O THE CONFUSION OF IT ALL11111 Armand
 
Me thinks we farmers raise and grow nothing,..nature does that for us.
We only try to prevent crops and livestock from dieing :wink:
 
That's right! There was a fellow over in Hayes County, Didn't turn out too well, outside the law etc. Somebody asked, "Who raised him?" The answer. Nobody, he just growed up.
 
Also along the same line... There were some cows that did not appear to be receiving very adequate care. When asked who was taking care of them, a neighbor replied, "Just the good Lord and he could use a little help"
 
Ok, so someone want to explain the proper term to describe my operation? Hay and oats from this farm are the crops fed to the sheep... Wool products are the final product.

Several descriptive worda come to mind. (Please disregard the non-complimentary ones!)
 
And the auctioneer, commenting on a pen of really skinny cows- "Don't be scared of 'em, boys, they're just hungry- ain't had nothin' but willow shoots the last 6 months."
 
I think da.bees hit the nail right on the head. The world is a big place. If you think you have it all right and no one else does then you have a big problem.
