one of my neighbors had chickens and a cow and some other shit that he saved from the slaughter house in his broke down back lot behind his house until the city said it was unsafe for them to live there.He used to pay me and my cousin to get the chicken eggs out the coop and stop people from throwing rocks and shit at the live stock so I guess I am a farmer,a pretty damn good one if I don't say so myself.

chickens are very rewarding and if you buy ready to lay pullets they pay for them self right away people always want farm fresh eggs

i have 5 rabbits,34 hens, just slaughtered my pig in November. Have a freezer full of bacon. I'm still a newb. planted 2 apple trees,2 satsuma orange trees, 2 lemon trees,2 apple trees,2 peach trees, 1 pear, 1 plum ,2 erect blackberry plants and 2 rasberry plants, and 1 fig tree. Have2 mature pecan trees and a mature persimmon tree. Planted several asparagus since its perennial. and a small herb garden

Grew some veggies for the first time last year. Corn,potatoes,watermelons, cantaloupes, lettuce, squash and turnips.

Had several roosters but got rid of them due to noise. 1 was mean as shit. Drew blood from me on several occasions. I had to battle him every time I went near the coop. I kinda miss him.

also started worm composting bin.
trying to get prepared for the PAW.

Ya I'm a farmer. Cows, horses, pigs, sheep, goats, and lots of dogs. We grow corn, soybeans, and wheat. Best job in the world because your the boss and can smoke all day.

There's not many things better than a good fresh egg fried on toast with bacon and some good cheese. A really fresh egg tastes so much difference than the ones you get in the supermarket.

My mother used to send me and my brothers out to my uncles house every summer for a few weeks.
That last time I was there was like 25 years ago.
Mostly from what I can remember, It sucked.
My uncle had over 50 cows, chicken's and pigs.
It was alot of hard work, I always came home smelling like shit and had blisters all over my hands and feet.
I can say this though.
I have alot of respect for farmers.
It's a shitty job to have, not everyone can do it.
