Yea I did that as a teenager in Iowa. It sucked but wasn't as bad as stacking bales of hay or milking cows.

WHAT??

You're trying to say that you would rather walk down a field of corn, higher then your head, with the field so thick that there is no breeze, water was at both ends of a field that could be up to a mile long, not to say anything about having to wear long sleeve shirts so the leaves don't cut you to shreads, as being worse then staking bales of hay or milking cows.

I did those and more and detasseling corn was the worst job I had.
 
What I find puzzling is how anyone who claims to practice law for a living has the time to post on the internet all day and night....the attorneys I know certainly don't.

what attorney do you know that posts all day and night? probably like your imaginary friends you tell your mother you have.....

what i find amazing....is how anyone NOT living in their mother's basement can troll the internets, copy dozens of posters and try to pass himself off as yurt on multiple messageboards.....

what i don't find amazing, is how you cowardly run from debates and addressing my posts.....

Yea they are and having been raised on a farm and living in rural areas a good part of my life and knowing farmers as I do.......no way in hell do I want them writing the laws or running the machinery of government.

Most farmers I know are very good people but they are almost completely disconnected from urban realities, don't deal well with highly complex situations outside their realm of personal experience and tend to be rather misanthropic.

You're typical farmer would firmly believe the world would all be a better place if they owned everything and the rest of us worked as their serfs and they called all the shots.

No, most farmers simply want to be left alone, be able to work their land as they see fit and make a fair market value on what they produce. The federal government as described in the Constitution would serve them very well. With regards to "urban areas", their governance is of no concern as long as they exist without impacting him.

Most of the farmers that I have known were in New York State, one of the great agricultural regions of the country. There was a lot of conflict with metropolitan New York, but it was typically about the city folk sucking up state resources. When the feds came down on the NYC water authority to control giardia lamblia either by filtration or watershed management, of course they chose watershed management because they didn't want to spend the money on filters. That created a battle with the farmers in the region, and the typical political cartoon had a city boy putting diapers on cows.

True, and contrary to popular belief almost all farmers are also college graduates. While townies may not always be (small town areas), almost all the people who are growing your food are.

True dat. Most (maybe all?) states have a central university that started out as a agricultural college as part of the Morrill Act.

When I was younger, I worked a couple of summers detasseling corn.
Anyone else here ever done that; because they now have a machine that does that also.

I did it for a couple years. they had a machine do it back then as well, but we were always needed because of the inefficiency of machinery.
