I do like to get educated on monetary and fiscal policy, so I read John Burns, tink, & I like Big Norsk but he doesn't post much. I pick up a few things in the cafe about furnaces and health insurance, but don't learn much on stock talk since all the discussion is around cow/calf guys and their one calf they have to feed. LOL.
I like to keep my finger on the pulse of what farmers are thinking. I find it entertaining. I love it when they complain about Walmart welfare queens but how come my check for planting winter rye didn't come in the mail yet........Dairy farmers don't post much. They are busy actually working. Agweb is dying and agriculture.com is boring as hell.

That's putting it succinctly!  I enjoy all the pics posted on the stock page regardless of beef, dairy, hog or sheep related Also a lot of interesting threads and pics on MT. A wealth of knowledge on there. Lotta guys I wouldn't mind meeting for a beverage at the local watering hole and shoot the breeze in person.  |

Did garvo marry his farm? Or how does that work? I think it's so weird the way he talks about his wife being his landlady.
Maybe it's an Iowa thing.

Maybe it's an Iowa thing. 38 years ago, I addressed my wife at our wedding reception as my 1st wife. Been doing it ever since. It just takes a sense of humor to understand it. |

Hey Ron, it's too bad cousinit doesn't get about you referring to your wife as the #1 wife and Garvo's as the ladylady. I feel that is a complement to your wife's. That you concede they are #1 in your life, and they have final say in matters.
I had to laugh the day when I called my wife hey Bill! Can you hand me that part over there? She got somewhat red faced and replied how did you know my dad called me Bill? Well I never knew he called he that, and no she doesn't look like a Bill in my book. My father-in-law only had girls so all on them had to help on the farm and dairy and with the beef cattle. That calling her Bill just fit at the moment in time, once in a great while I say hey Bill come take a look at this or just trying to get her attention for something.
There is things in our household that my wife has total say, and other things I have total say on. It is a true 50/50 deal. We don't question each other if we make one of those decisions, it rides.
