It was a number of years ago I received this list of top 10 ways you know you are a farmer. The source and author were unknown.

No. 1: You have fibbed to a mechanic about how often you greased a piece of equipment.

No. 2: Your dog rides in your truck more often then your wife.

No. 3: You have used a front-end loader as scaffolding for roof repairs.

No. 4: You have used baler twine for repairs.

No. 5: You had to wash off with a garden hose before your wife would let you into the house.

No. 6: You convince your wife that an overnight trip out of state for parts is a vacation.

No. 7: You wear specific seed corn or elevator caps to farm sales, livestock auctions, customer appreciation dinners and vacations.

No. 8: You have driven off the township road while looking at your neighbor's crops.

No.  9: You have used a chainsaw to renovate your house.

No. 10: You can remember the fertilizer rate, seed population, herbicides used, and the yield on a farm 10 years ago, but you cannot remember your wife's birthday!

OK, tell the truth, did you see yourself in any of these 10 reasons you know you are a farmer?
