what i've learned through my first year as a member of TFL

The farm work is exhausting just from the long hours. Wheat harvest will always be 100+ hours per week and its hard to stay focused as the days drag on. Soon as somebody loses focus something bad happens and bad gets expensive fast.

I concur. my father in-law is a dairy farmer and on top of looking after the many cows & steer on the farm he also has to work the fields. the man almost never gets a day off and he's up from the crack of dawn and working til 9pm at night, 7 days a week. this gave me a whole new perspective and appreciation for life on the farm.
 
I think we could all agree firearms enthusiasts are an individualist bunch and certainly more honest then politicians but who may at times exaggerate the wonders of a new purchased firearm like a used car salesmen trying to unload a Pinto.;)
 
I was going to make a post about magnums, and the reasons people use them but it would derail this thread so i deleted it lol.

Oh heres a good one i hear from time to time.

"I just got this ultra magnum, now I can hunt at long range!"
 
Rereading this, I realized you missed a whole section of the board where you could have learned
16. The AR 15 is the most superior weapon platform ever designed by the most superior nation for the most superior armed forces, and that the AK47 is a piece of reclaimed hubcap only suitable for spray fire.
17. The AK 47 is the most reliable weapon fielded by men since the arrival of the sharpened stick, still firing after being encased in a barrel of concrete and dropped into the Marianna trench, and the AR 15 killed more troops by failing than the enemy.
18. The only truly superior combat weapon is the AR 48 in 6.66 GTi due to its direct piston system, as demonstrated by the UN Polar Dive Team in their CQC testing at 1000 yards in the oasis of Am'shir.
Otherwise you summarized nicely.

Nah.. farmings easy, I just sit back and let all the barn cats run the business while I sip my bourbon.:D:D




Oh and .243s are the best caliber EVER MADE, they Rule!!!!!!! so I've heard.... having never shot one myself, BUT I read it on the Internet so it must be true!!!
 
Besides, we all know that the best color for farm equipment is red. Green is only useful for painting on water towers. (ducking for cover).

If you were ducking from a .260 it would do you no good.

Hah, yep! Love that one!
Funny, at all three of the stores I browse on a regular basis, the used racks are chock full of magnums. I have asked multiple employees at each store why that is, and all of them responded with a variation of the same thing...
"People think they need a [insert magnum here] to shoot whitetail deer. Once they find out that A) they don't, and B) it's unpleasant as heck to shoot them... they bring 'em back in and trade down to something that actually fits the reality of their needs."
 
Green paint, red paint, blue paint, yellow paint.....doesn't make a difference to me. It all breaks and it's all $90/hour for a service call to get it up and going. Those 9770's with the 35 foot draper heads will cut a thousand bushels per hour which equates to roughly $7500/hour. As long as it's running and making money I don't care what color it is. We run green because the dealer is seven miles away and asks "how high?" when we say "Jump!"

Now, you want to talk about junk? You should bring up the eleven ruger m77's I have in the safe next to me. They're such a bunch of no-shooting garbage that I'd be better off trading them all straight across to the first person that offered me any single rifle with an accutrigger!
 
accutrigger!

SOLD..... you owe me the eleven Ruger m77's, for the Savage accutrigger rifle I just bought, I paid 11.99 for it, you pay postage.......Now givem up :D:D





Now about the military converting over to .17Hmr, whats the grain size ???
 
I said I'd be better off doing it. But then I never was very good at making critical decisions in my own best interest. Don't believe me? I got married. How's that for proof of compromised decision making abilities?!
 
Mdd to get back on point, I only agree with PRIME number points, that's 1,3,5,7,11 & 13 now everyone will need to go back to post #1. (LOL)

Green is a good color if you live in Illinois.

Now you know that the John Deere isnt as good at seperating the wheat from the chaff as the International Harvester.

Even this old farm boy knows that friends don't let friends drive any Farmall product! Any of their stuff is the devils work, and should be shunned!

If we go by a Prime numbers, then every one HAS to own a least 2 or 3 or 5 or 7 or........:eek: .223 caliber Rifles. Isn't mathematics Wonderful. :D:D

BTW Jim you should sell that .243 rifle of yours, its not prime :D

ROFLMAO! Thats freaking hilarious.

As to the farm discussion, having both brands in tractors and a international combine, i like our combine for what it's worth. But in the tractor sense "nothing runs like a deere" and our mx240 has forced me to believe it. Get all sorts of random problems with that thing.
