      TRUE but as unfair as it may be the stigma against sanitation workers does make some sense, the "ick factor". Farming is much more OBVIOUSLY important so only a person with no common sense would look down on someone for being a farmer. And what is more ANY job serves a purpose and a mother in law has no right to belittle her daughter in law for ANY job she does.
      How is this for a "rule of thumb". If treating your son's wife a certain way would cause you to get beaten up by your son if you were a man and not related to him then you had best not act that way either.

    I grew up on a 250 +/- acre farm. We never had any money to speak of, especially for things not needed. But when it came to eating, o my goodness, we ate like we were rich. But then again, I guess it depends on what you think "eating well" means. Breakfast always had meat, from pork chops, bacon to ham. Home made biscuits and gravy, eggs, fresh butter, honey from our hives to home made apple butter.
    Lunch was always good and supper was as great as breakfast.
    Having some cattle, chickens and a few pigs always ment we had meat. A very large garden and then canning ment a cellar full of food along with fresh alot if the year. Grew corn and beans for profit and Hay for the cows.
    Looking back on everything I am proud of my grandparents and my mom.
    It's kinda funny now, everyone trying to learn how to live off grid and be self-sufficient.

Butter and yogurt are just a couple of the items. I found out yesterday you are allowed to have 1 cow (mini cow) in city limits as long as you have a large enough yard for one...

      Your point about losing a crop is valid, but the same could be said about any business. If you own a textile mill, making designer clothing, and your mill burns down, what then?
      Of course, many farmers are under pressure because they have to buy new seed and fertilizer, etc. each year. There are some that are starting to go back to a less chemical dependent method (rotating crops, more natural fertilizers and pest control), but it can limit their profits. This will come into play next year due to Russia stopping fertilizer exports.

If it is owned by the company, and the agreement was with his father or there was no agreement, the company could not have been sued for any amount, as she was squatting. Immediate eviction is well within his right.

      now that ive listened to more:
      Its company property and she is no longer an employee.
      Since he is firing for cause, she is required to leave company property immediatly. this is the one story where immediate removal might be legit.
      But yes you are right they do this in every story and its usually wildly illegal.

      @@Gopherzooka Some of that depends on where you live, since tenant rights are a state issue, but if you want someone to leave, and they refuse to, you still have to take certain legal steps. You are right, if the residency was based on employment, that might vary some, depending on the employment contract.

    I love how the rich look down on farmers because it's manual labor... They don't realize that the cost of farmers equipment is freaking astronomical. A single tire for a modern tractor can be over 100k. Don't mock farmers for manual labor.... Those MFs are tough as nails and can be just as wealthy as a doctor.

      The fact is that almost EVERYTHING needed to farm is very expensive, with no guarantee of a payday at the end of the season! Many are millionaires on paper, but to benefit from it would have to sell their farms & equipment & therefore, their livelihood. It's also why it's so hard to get in to farming.....it all costs SO much!

It's getting to the point that the only ones that can do it, because of cost, are corporations. They are the only ones that can keep up with the cost of and maintenance of the equipment. Especially when you consider manufacturers of the equipment are putting proprietary legalize on every aspect of the equipment and require THEIR techs to fix anything.

They tried to sue all the farmers into paying for the infrastructure. The developers and city's lost. Million upon million of acres of prime farm land made into mcmansion. UGGGG. I really never realized how hard farming is and the tech associated modern farms. Hard working people. Smart people. But most live in levies, T shirts and Carhartt. Clothes made to feel comfortable in and last year's. City life does not impress most of them. This story proves it
