Farmers Just Can't Get A Break




I captured these images yesterday to show everyone just how bad things are for Farmers out there. To think we have at least two more straight days of rain, it's going to make things that much more difficult for Farmers to get it together for the season.

Oh, poor farmers. Nice truck, I wish I could afford it. Maybe they can try their hand at real work and start working on the water.

Get used to it. With the emminent rise of sea levels maybe the farmer should buy boats.

Farmer: Nice boat, I wish I could afford it. Maybe they can try their hand at real work and start working on the land. The truck is a necessary tool. ( Too bad everyone can't get a Public sector job and not have to work so hard)

I dont think its a farmers truck, more like the irrigation co. service trk. Most farmers know when and where they can drive their fields.

Hope when you spouted all that garbage out of your mouth about the farmers, you didn't have your mouth full!

In other words, THANK A FARMER every time you put food in your mouth. And you do it at least 3 times a day. Eat that is.

Your food does NOT grow in a grocery store or a fast food joint! You might think so but it doesn't.

If you want a reality shock, come walk in my shoes for a while! You might just be surprised at what you learn! You probably don't have the stamina or the guts!!!

Sign me....

4th generation Wicomico farmer and proud of it!!!!!

Some people on this blog just try to make every statement that anyone makes wrong.
How do you know it is a truck from the irrigation company?
My boss is a farmer and he works on his own irrigation is that ok with you?
Oh and he does get stuck every once in a while, he dont know every wet place.

Well said and thank you.
I work for farmer no i do little to none of his farm work , i help out every once in a while .
I drive a truck over the road for him.
Who ever said that dont have a clue to how hard the farmer does work.
Like from sunup to sundown.
He probably could not afford fuel for a tractor for one day.
God bless the farmers and hang in there maybe someday things will turn around.

Farm trucks do not have yellow lights. Whats up with that?

Just last month, people were praising farmers for plowing them out of the snow. Sounds to me like the farmers can't win for losing!
Thank you farmers for all of your hard work!
