Old farmer's saying's..... do you know any ?

[Whitepeak]

"There's never any grass until the daffodils are dead" , is one of my dad's favourites when I'm itching to turn cows out!

Friends favourite is "if it's got tits or tyres, it'll be trouble!"

"empty cans make the most noise."

Me when someone borrows something,
"if you bend it, you'll mend it."

My mother would say ''never borrow something to worry about, there will be enough that finds you''!

 

[snarling bee]

Never a borrower or lender be.

You want dinner on the kitchen table, not a saddle.

 

[Selectamatic]

Who said that

Me!

Open your eyes instead of your mouth and you might get on better.

Not a saying as such, but one of my favourite curses regularly uttered by the gaffer I worked for as a teenager:
”Blast your eyes!”, usually aimed at an errant sheepdog who’s psychic powers had let him down, but could be aimed at any animal (including humans).

Grandad used to tell us that the farm where he worked in Canada pre WW1 was so big that he "ploughed one furrow up in the forenoon and one furrow back in the afternoon!"

Yes, but conversely "Fools breed them for wise men to buy them"
