You know you are a farmer if;
Your dog rides in your truck more than your wife
You convince your wife that an overnight, out-of-state trip for equipment parts is a vacation
You wear specific hats to farm sales, livestock auctions, customer appreciation suppers, and vacations
You have ever had to wash off in the backyard with a garden hose before your wife would let you in the house
You've never thrown away a 5-gallon bucket
You have used baling wire to attach a license plate
You can remember the fertilizer rate, seed populations, herbicide rate and yields on a farm you rented 10 years ago, but cannot recall you're wife's birthday
You have fibbed to a mechanic about how often you greased a piece of equipment
You have used a velvet leaf plant as toilet paper
You have driven off the road while examining your neighbor's crops
You have borrowed gravel from the county road to fill potholes in your driveway
You have buried a dog and cried like a baby
You have used a tractor front-end loader as scaffolding for roof repairs
You've used the same knife to make bull calves steers, and peel apples
