Move Over, John Deere
Working Conditions
-Farm Bill weighs as much as Des Moines.
Can't justify printing it, so it's ebook.
-I know one big farmer reading it while
cranking up the a/c in his tractor cab.
-Mozart still piped in?
-Culture on the plain, not Hee Haw.
-What's on other screens?
-Corn and wheat futures. Real Estate in
Zurich and Tokyo. Derivatives in London.
-Yup, farmin' sure hard-scrabblin'!
-That never changes.

Taxonomy
Two Farm State Senators
-Big Agriculture gets big subsidies, Little Agriculture,
not so much.
-How about The Family Farm?
-Fence it round for a museum! Let the scratch-ass
farmer explain to urban slicksters the difference
between a horse and a whore.
-How would he know anything about the latter?
-It’s a new world, and rural communities have been keeping up!
