Can You Outwork This Farm Girl?

Many moons ago when the little lady and I started our farm we did not have enough money for a baler..... Or a mower!!! We would do between 5 and 7 acres each summer with a scythe! Then rake by hand and put up in barn by hand.

We felt spoiled when we got a 7 foot sickle mower! We now have a couple a balers.
 
Married2Allis, Worked with a 19 year old boy and I mean boy today. I would like working with her because she knows how to work. Thinking a lot about quitting today and that aint my style.
 
You would swear she is in Europe with the background and buildings and then you see she's loading a 94 Chevy. I showed that to the harvest crew at junkshow and they want to get her for bundle pitching. Hey RR Lund, maybe she coud run the pitching circuit.
 
greg, sorry you're having one of those days. It's 5 oclock some where!

Years ago my uncle's wife couldn't have children so he always hired foster kids to work on his dairy farm. And they were all hard workers (this was back in the 60's/70's before iPhones). When I was 16, I stayed over there one summer and there was a foster girl named Darlene about the same age. Wow she was strong as an ox! All muscle.
 
I would not try to outwork her but I would sit in the porch swing with her and enjoy her choice of beverage after a hard day.
 
I saw this several months ago. Sweden or something. Take a smell of
that fresh hay. Boy is that girl strong. She is cute too and look at
those legs. Even a little sweaty I bet ya. ;)
 
Some girls/women just don't like shoes. And some farm girls can work too. I helped a friend pick up square alfalfa bales one time in my teen days. His 22-25yr old sister came out of the house to drive the tractor for us. Wearing shorts and bare feet. Her brother kinda recommended some shoes but she looked at him like he was an idiot.I figured that she was better than the alternative of us jumping on and off the tractor.

Any time we got in a area with more than a few bales, she would jump off the tractor and help carry bales to the wagon. The bales were scratchy enough through my jeans much less on bare legs. She walked on that stubble like it was a golf course. We got to the barn and she stayed on the wagon and threw the bales on the elevator.

I concluded that no dude probably ever lipped off to her more than once either. She could hold her own.
 
Poor girl.

Probably doesn't have an X Box, or even know how to text!

She might even have to join the conversation at the dinner table!

I'm calling CPS!
 
She works a fork better than I do at the supper table!!! Don't know how she can work bare
feeted in that stuble, wish I had one like her!!!
 
Married2Allis, Just got back from milking and this girl is pretty rugged and would be skinny if she wasn't pregnant with twins. Same girl that lost the baby last year and so far everything is good. She works in the ER also. J.W. say's hello.

Old European tradition of having the girls do the manual labor. My Grandma and her two sisters did almost all the manual labor on their parents ranch in NE, while their 4 brothers wore white shirts with arm garters and rode around the ranch in buggies. When the old man died, the boys got all the property and the girls didn't get anything from the estate.
 
Reminds me of the farmers daughter next farm down the road, she was about fifteen and I was a couple years younger and they just moved there. Once in a while I helped make hay down there and she'd help me stack hay in the haymow at home. She was stronger than me and shaped nicely the more I think about it, she could throw bales higher than me. Don't remember what started it be we got wrestling in the haymow and she got me in a headlock I couldn't get out of. This went on all summer, she'd whip me 2 or 3 times a week, I'd get mad every time and the fight was on next time I seen her. She'd have an arm twisted behind my back and sitting on me or setting on my belly with my arms pinned down or in a headlock, always had something stuck in my eye or ear, felt kinda good but didn't know what to do about it, was more concerned about winning a fight. Few years later figured out I was a dumb kid and might of passed up a chance at enhancing my education.
 
I have a friend who is like her. Works her eight hours and then goes home to do more work. She does not like it that her husband comes home from work and just wants to relax. The girl was fun to watch but might be tough to keep up with.
