Whats a dirt farmer?

[Maximilian]

How does it even work? 😵

 

[Jon-T]

I always too it to mean a poor farmer. Doesn't have a good crop yield and at the end of the year he doesn't have much more than dirt.

 

[Carson Dyle]

A poor farmer. One who gets his hands in the dirt because he has few or no workers.

Both of those things. It's usually a poor farmer with a small unproductive patch, no hired hands and very little crop to show for the work.

Heh.

We don't need another thread where the people who shower before work and the people who shower after work argue about who works harder.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Heh.

We don't need another thread where the people who shower before work and the people who shower after work argue about who works harder.

Or a thread about how people who work in front of a computer sitting on their butts all day are magically superior to those who do physical work.

Anybody can grow dirt.

Out here, we can grow rocks! 😀

What about the people who shower during work? Women with web cam shows are part of the labor force.

Well to change the subject, people who farm mulch or dirt can become very wealthy.

I read a story about a teenage kid who took garbage from restaurant and garbage truck workers and got paid $500 to get it dumped every day and then he incubated it in a barn for a couple months and made his own brand and sells it for about $7 for about a couple yards.

It's not magic. It took a lot of work to become so superior.

And yet, look at all the physical jobs you are incapable of doing. 🙂

You'd be picking on the wrong guy there, mate. I could work you to your knees, have a beer, and do another six hours while you're recovering.

You sure do have a purdy mouth. :wub:
I was referring to your lack of knowledge to do those physical jobs.

Sometimes contractors need dirt to fill in a lot so they buy some from a dirt farmer.

It took three posts to turn this into a political argument. You guys are slacking. (Must be lazy, jobless bums)

Then wouldn't that be a dirt miner?

Where my mom's family was from it simply meant someone who grew agricultural products such as grains or vegetables. Dairy or beef farmers would not be dirt farmers. Those who grow soybeans would.

You typically don't hear a dairyman or cattle rancher called a farmer.

Where I grew up ( <== Cheesehead ) dairy farmers were called dairy farmers. Ranchers were folks who lived somewhere out west.

I grew up in central Illinois and this is what it always meant when I was a kid.

Same where I am from (FIB - A cheesehead should know what that is 🙂 ). Ranchers are John Wayne out in Texas lol.

Doubt it.
TH has learned "obtuse" and "affirmed" this week.
Adding a 5-syllable word like "derogatory" to his Lexicon within the same week would likely fry his temporal gyrus.
