Nope, we don"t all feel that way. Being a real farmer"s wife I can say. The biggest problem we have is the so called "city slickers" moving out of town and not having any respect. Not all of them do it but there are enough to make the farmers mad. This anger comes from being flipped off, yelled at, ran into the ditch because someone was in a hurry or on a cell phone. It also comes from parents who think their kids can play in a farmers crops to make paths and ramps for bikes. Then you have some that think it"s an open field and they have every right in the world to be on it. Even though it isn"t their property. We have chased 4 wheelers out of our crops ruining what we have put hard work and money into. All I can say is kill them with kindness. When my husband and I first got married I took over trucking the grain to town so he could keep running the combine. Believe me when I say I know what you mean by a click. Them men hated seeing a woman in their territory. But I held my chin up and was out to prove that I could do this too. It didn"t take long with a few waves and smiling at them that they excepted me. And now they talk to me just like they talk to my husband. They didn"t even mind when I was setting in line waiting to dump, I would run inside and heat a bottle for the baby and feed him while I was waiting. Farmers are funny creatures. Very territorial. But they can also be your best friend and be there in times of need.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
