May be from washing with my bibs. How do you ruin them?

I sweat a lot working. I get oil and all other kinds of crap on them and it shows up bad on white or light colors. That's why I wear black or dark colored t shirts mostley.

I don't really know how long I'll be farming full time for.

The regulations are horrible and have been getting worst and worst over the last 10 years. Small farms have been dieing over the last 20 years anyway and it's getting harder and more expensive to comply with the bull chit.


Phuk the EPA

I truly feel your pain! I love the idea that farmers are harmful or hurting the environment. What people don't understand is that it's our livelihood and we protect the environment way more than we harm it. The last thing I want to do is run a mine on my farm (deplete the soil) or have anything running ($$$) off my farm!!!

The eastern part of Pennsylvania is in the Chesapeake Bay watershed to protect that they pass regulations that affects the whole state which includes me and I'm on the western side of Pennsylvania. But Boy if you want to pave 20 aces for a parking lot or dump more chemicals then I could ever use to play golf on a golf courses that's totally fine.

We live in a large watershed too.



We've been doing no-til and been doing other conservation and erosion control for over 15 years now.

All of a sudden over the past 3 years the DEQ and other organizations decided to focus on the watershed that we are in.... Of course now they are pushing no-til, putting in grass waterways and various other "efforts"

Stuff we've been doing for almost two decades.




One prick had the balls to tell dad when dad made the comment about us doing all that stuff for years. This prick said "well you better start doing more"




I'm glad I wasn't there and also glad that dad doesn't carry......

Boy ain't that the truth. It is good practice to get ahead of them puts you to the bottom of the pick on list. I fenced the cattle out of my creek bottom over 20 years ago. Erosion control they said. Bare banks without roots wash more they said. Horsrshit,now in high water instead of run off spreading out it stays in the banks and runs faster and still erodes,straight down. Now instead of a stream I have a wooded ditch. A deep one.

That sounds awful. I'd be upset. Taking time to have a nice garden then it gets trashed for no drastic
Reason sucks.

When I was a teenager I helped a guy farm soy beans, This guys arms was big as my thighs. he was not fat either. one of the strongest guys I have ever seen. He had a wonderful personality. Of course I had to be a good kid, I was dating his daughter. I learned a lot about farm life then, he had to be a mechanic and all kinds of things to keep everything running smooth.

Wasn't like a city slicker and take everything that breaks to the shop. He fixed it himself. He had an Old steel wheeled Case tractor that just sat in the yard. It ran to. It had a crank to start it on the front. I couldn't even turn it over.lol I drove a john deere and a another case tractor for him. we worked all day in the heat. he didn't have no Ac cabs or heaters either.

He was a good man and had a good family, I often think about the life I would have led if I had married his daughter. Probably be a lot stronger and smarter than I am today.lol

me and dad run a little farm compared to most around here raise 25 acres of tobacco and cut 20 acres of grass for hay this is last year then me and the old man, we will be out of it i learned my fair share of hardwork on this little patch of ground we just can't keep the farm up financially and two crop failures did us in.
a good friend bought us out and he is taking over in december the fence is coming out on our property to join his.
im going to miss it but it is what it is regulations, epa, failed contracts and money killed us.
