Actually, I'm not a farmer (although I do raise some Sorghum and Alfalfa occasionally), I really am a rancher (about 300+ head of cattle). Oh, I do have some chickens too. And I do have a small garden, about an acre. I do have some tomatoes and some bush beans. My wife used to like cabbage and cauliflower, but I stopped raising that and concentrate on tomatoes. Can make a really good salsa with it.
So I went out and really looked for those slaves you were talking about. I couldn't find a one. Do they hide when the sun comes up or do they collectively move from one "slave owners" plantation to another. If they are here, which you assured me that they are, they are really lousy workers. I had some hay to put up yesterday and when I came out this morning it was still there. So I spent the first couple of hours this morning putting up hay. Before that, I had to go out to the chicken coop (just like I do every morning after my coffee) and collect the eggs. My daughter will be out later and take a couple dozen back to town. Those slaves NEVER seem to get collecting those eggs right.
So if these slaves do move from one farm to another, I'll bet they spend a lot of time at my neighbors (actually three miles away). He raises soybeans. Going to put in about 100 acres of soybeans this year he says. Course he's Indian (from India) and has a large family. There's about 6 kids, his wife's mom and dad and they all live in the same house. Down the other way is a Hispanic couple. They raise winter wheat and then turn it over and put in Sorghum usually. They have four kids. So, since they aren't white are they slave owners too? I told Nate (the Indian who wears cowboy hats and boots) that he looks a little strange with that rain gutter straw hat he always wears. Ever hear someone say "y'all" with a slight Indian accent. Never heard anything so damn funny.
These slaves y'all keep talking about must be lazy as hell. Course, if you ask me, I think you're a little 'teeched' (slang for touched - nuts - unstable - mentally deficient). Have a nice day (midwestern/southern for "go screw yourself").
