Farmers. Cherlindrea Sends Me Farmers.

Calronmoonflower you castrated one hog? Did you fry them?

If you own the land a farm is on, you are a farmer. If you work the farm for a land owner, you are a sharecropper and are likely leasing. If you pick the crop, you are an employee. If you're ladydeerheart, you pop off a lot about things you have no knowledge of. That being said large subsidies go to raise export crops. Corn/soy. These overinflated crop revenues keep farmers from a free market and you the consumer have to pay higher prices for Mexican produce.

I grew up working farms and still have farmers in the family. You don't know what you're talking about so you vomit up the dumbest things faux Fox opinion pieces tell you to. How many farmers are you related to? Nevermind. You'll just lie.

Are you really a conservative trying to make liberals look bad by parodying them?

I knew you wouldn't answer.

You didn't ask me, but my father was a farmer. In the end that doesn't make me any more right, so you really only ask to dismiss people you do not like. Now why don't you answer my question?

What crops?

Corn.

Just corn?

Well you do have to rotate to replenish the soil, but corn was the main crop on his farm. As for what he grew for personal use: pepper, tomatoes, turnips, potatoes cucumbers, and likely some other stuff I cannot remember.

Sweet corn and castrating hogs. I know you said pugs but since it took six adults I'll assume it was hogs. You were in the south. I don't know why it would take six adults to castrated a hog. I've seen three highschool boys do it by themselves.

I'm not trying to do anything but figure you out. You disagree with something I know. I needed more information about what you knew so I asked some questions.

Very few farmers own the land food crops are on. That's a different trype of farming. I've never seen a farmer grow soybeans and sweet corn. There's no money in sweet corn unless you grow for a corporation. I'm trying to figure out what kind of farm your father had. You've said veggies, soybeans, sweet corn and castrating hogs. Sounds like your father was a honorable hard working man. That's my point. Farmers are hard workers and they take pride in what they do. Trump took that away from them.

It was a full grown giant ass hog. It's much easier to do it before the pig reaches its full size. He also raised and sold cows.

Peppers, tomatoes and such is gardening. I grow all of that and then some too. I'm not a farmer. What did he rotate his corn crops with? You're being evasive. If you grew up with a father that was a farmer you'd have stories of the work you did too. Never met a farmer whose whole family didn't help out.

Oh, hell it's been a while. I remember soybeans, but I'm sure he used other crops as well.

And see where I said for person use? I conveniently ignored that and all those crops, those crops are also grown on a commercial level as well, and assumed I'm being evasive when I answered honestly. This is showing that you're introducing personal biases. This indicates that you might be working towards the answer you wish to be , rather than being interested in the truth.

And I didn't grow up on his farm, you assumed by family unit. I have helped castrate pig a full grown pig (took around 6 adults) as well as young piglets and remember helping his get cows to get into a new area he opened up moving the electric fence.

I remember the well in the back that had little filter feeders that purity the water and how they died when an idiot left the top off so leaves could fall in.

What kind of corn?

Not sure of the type. I get that you could be asking me to try to see I I'm telling the truth, but this is getting off topic.

Your father sounds like an amazing man. He doesn't sound like a career farmer and it sounds like he farmed decades ago before Trump screwed the farmers over soooo... semantics.

And it won't allow me to reply after several replies have already been posted. You should know that.

If you hit the end of a reply chain, you can make a second reply to a previous post and start a new chain.

Corn is simple. It's either feed or sweet and you didn't even know that.

Your father farmed sweet corn? There different seed but other than popcorn there's two types of corn farmers grow. There's a plethora of companies that name their seeds but there are corns that people eat and corn people feed to animal crops so they can eat them.
Drive across this country and you know what crops you'll see being grown everywhere? Feed corn, soybeans and cotton. Do you know why? Because before Trump screwed the farmers over those were the crops that sold. I can appreciate your father growing food for his family and I'd hope you learned to love gardening from him but corn crops aren't a full-time job. What other work did he do?

I take it your father didn't own the land he farmed. It sounds like he had a little farm more than worked for others but if not like you said he either leased or was paid by the hour to farm someone else's land. Either way if he were still a farmer he'd be unemployed because the land owners are the ones getting Trump's welfare for farmers.

Along with different brands of corn, there are different types as well. Some can be rather colorful. It goes way beyond sweet corn and seed corn.

My farther raised cows and pigs as I stated. Worked in road construction as well as farming and owned his farm.

And you cannot say for sure if he would be out of business, that is a fallacy called hypothesis contrary to fact. It also is the answer you wish to be true.

Finally, if you do not reply to my post, I will not get a notification of it.

LOL, no it isn't that simple, as there are many types of corn. It was sweet corn, but I do not know the type.
