A national day off. To honor "the WORKING MEN AND WOMEN" . O.K. I got up at 3:00AM, and went in to work, for a 'short" 2 hours. Then back home to feed the chickens, and check the cattle. Then, I fueled the tractor, so I can go bush hog all day (provided the rain holds off). A couple minutes with the wife, and out the door. If things go well, I'll be done mowing about 4 or 5 this afternoon. Then back home and feed the cows. I wonder if the "average American" has ANY clue as to just how hard the farmer works to feed everyone? No days off. I work a "day job" too, so time off is a fantasy. I do that of my own choosing. But...What would happen if we decided to live like everyone else? This is THE LIFE. (at least as far as I'm concerned) I wouldn't change it for the world. It would just be nice to see us get "OUR PIECE OF THE PIE". How many business's would be in operation in todays world, if they had to take the risk of the farmer, for so small of a profit(?)(What profit?) What's everyone else doing today?
