hey John,
You asked my definition of BTO -
1. Do you crop more than 1000 acres?
2. Are these acres mostly corn, beans, wheat, or cotton?
3. Do you consider any other crop a waste of space?
4. Do you put entire hillsides into beans or corn, but say it's OK because they were no-tilled or you have 10 foot weed strips you call "buffers" every 90 feet?
5. Do you forget entire farms because "There's just so many of them"?
6. Do you treat anyone smaller than you like dirt and look at their land as a chance to put more seeds in the ground?
7. Do you start mudding your corn in on April 10th, plant every day no matter the weather, and stop planting on June 20th?
8. Do you have several LLCs so you can maximize your Gov't payments?
9. Would you be able to farm the way you farm with NO gov't handouts?
10. Is more than half your equipment less than 10 years old and all one color?
11. Is your pickup, big, shiny, new, and gonna be traded for a bigger,shinier, and newer one soon?
12. Do you consider bankruptcy "just another tool in the toolbox"?
13. Do you regularly pay bills 3 months late "because you can"?
14. Do you skip paying rent to little old widow ladies because you know you can get away with it?
If you answered "Yes" to more than 4 of these questions, then YES, you are a BTO. If you answered "yes" to question 14, then you're a BTO AND the jerk south of my town.
