    Themselves.

    This is not a good look along with photos of spraying too close to watercourses etc. Some farmers on here recklessly and regularly vacate their social licence.
    Nope , it’s crime in this area , sorry , it’s not having a beer after the combine is parked for the year .

    Funny how some jump on lame opportunities to throw shade on the hard work done by many farmers who pump billions into the Canadian Economy yearly .
    How’s life going in Australia or wherever your from ?

      You're your own worst enemy. Sad but true.

        I question how you can criticize a farmer for having a beer in a parked combine in a isolated field at the end of harvest when the real issue for public safety is people texting or talking on phones while driving 70 kph on a busy street with pedestrians on both sides of the sidewalk.

        I may be going out on a limb here but I don't recall any pedestrians being hit by a combine lately.

          I hit a skunk with the swather the other week ............. in my defence he was in my “lane” in the field. I wasn’t texting or drinking at the time and he ( or she I didn’t check) wasn’t in a crosswalk either. At least Wiley Coyote pulled him out of the swath before the combine showed up. He left his calling card on the cutterbar though😉

                Today me and my fat wonder cow won the day. I walked, she followed. The herd came in behind.



                Considering we were bringing up the rear, we made a real break for it to lead the final half mile 😆

                ..I've always found it easy following the purdy ones too over the years..

                  R2R is also a big issue .... it’s becoming a big issue in the States

                    It’s true. Men always think they can handle women. Women consistently prove men wrong. Mother Nature taught us well 😁
