My Equipment is Bigger

With our economy in the shape it is in, there are still some jobs that

should not be done. Or maybe I mean they need to be changed and things done

differently.

I know that farmers play a critical role in our world, but do they

have to show us how important they are and how big their equipment is?

From roughly May-October in the Midwest, Farmers drive their equipment

up and down the highways, causing traffic snarls. I’m convinced the

reason they do this is to show us how impressive their equipment is. It’s

the farming version of muscle cars or young buxom girls that the old

guys strap onto their arms and wear as jewelry.

I have an idea. President Barry has all this money he is dying to

spend, think of a kid with his Dad’s credit card, why not created a

separate road system for farm equipment. The crops would get done on time,

and the rest of us who don’t farm could get to where we’re going on time

without leaving an hour earlier.

I’ve worked the fields by hand, and know what a hard job it is, it is

NOT a hard job however to sit in an air conditioned cab and listen to the

radio. Although long hours may be required, the big business farming of

today does not compete with the noble profession of yesteryear.
