Farmers ...

I'm off on one of my long day trips tomorrow so thought I'd post tomorrow today. This is a cheap shot at the farming community. Bless em. Used to say they were always moaning about how money was tight yet they always had cash to splash. These days there is perhaps the odd reason to curse their luck; low prices on livestock, various disease outbreaks, supermarket squeezing margins. One thing is never in doubt. We do need them. Milk, cheese, meat and produce didn't just appear in the shops as if by magic.

Q: How many farmers does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: One, unless he can get a subsidy for leaving it fallow.
