hell , it works for me . give it a try

I guess if being Nancy's personal chef, sex slave, lawn boy, maid service, handyman, and chief firewood chopper doesn't work out I could always go back to painting. aw, fuck, I already do all that shit and run a business. I'd have to negotiate a pretty good allowance for being the house bitch exclusively before I sell my tools. one that included a nice fishing boat, money for airfare to the north country, taxidermy, etc...

This is going to be a long recovery, I pray that Ohio doesn’t lose too many family farmers.

Definitely will be a tough year(s) for farmers. I spoke with one of my neighbors who farms. Asked when it gets to the point of not planting. He said it isn't an option. They have to plant. He said there is a chance their yields are greatly reduced, yet, they make the same profit. Futures markets are already pricing in very high. With the shortages the prices will go even higher. For THIS year, that could save some of these farmers. Supply and demand. For their sake, I hope this happens. For us it will mean higher prices on our commodities at the grocery store.

So you are ok making less money this year to pay more for things? As long as the farmers get to make their money... Much like a farmer, I know your livelihood depends on the weather. So does mine, Jamie and many others around here. I’ve lost a bunch of money over this already and worked way harder to get the work done that we did get done. “But as long as the farmers get theirs...all is alright...” 👎🏿 It’s the cost of making a living the way we choose to do so.

The big farmers are getting crops in the ground, they'll get some insurance money, and make some of whatever harvested, possibly Trump bailout money. U wont see any of them around here looking for side work to supplement income or getting part time jobs to make ends meet. They might just not golf as much, skip a few weekends at their lakehouses, not buy a brand new trucks or upgrade equipment at tax time this year.....if crop prices go up some will still be buying ground for 10k an acre around here. The little guy losing family farms is pretty much dead around my area. We'll see. People lose jobs switch prohesions everyday, I don't wish ill will or difficultie on anyone, but I don't feel for farmer man yet. They can sweat a bit just like the rest of us.......
