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

[Dead Rabbits]

Ain’t no use worrying about today as tomorrow it’ll be yesterday

 

[Dead Rabbits]

It’s not a quote but a line from a poem that to me sure sounds like farming and has been stuck in my head for a long time. “The best laid plans of mice and men go oft awry”

 

[Working from home]

Might not appeal to everyone, depending on your location but from where our farm is you can see the Cleveland Hills in the far distance, probably 35miles away. Grandad sometimes was heard saying "The hills are too close to home". I think this meant you could see them to clearly ,which meant rain. If it was haytime and you couldnt see the hills, get the bloody grass cutter on !!

When a farmer goes to a farm sale “ he takes his cheque book with him and leaves his brain at home”

A good woman is like concrete.
Lay it right and you can walk all over it for years.

Wishful thinking.... it's women who think that way about men!

There was a girl at college who always walked quickly with her head forward, and had a larger than average derier
We called her “here’s my heid, my erse is comin“

That was my grandfather's favourite saying.

You keep it out of your mind and they'll keep it out of your pocket (if someone owes you money)

[Campbell]

These stick in my mind from years ago.

Weather "One things certain, It'll rain or get dark before morning"

Ability "He's not that bright in the daytime, he went to night school"

Efficiency "Stop doin' that now, it's had it's time"

Economy "Don't fill it with oil, just enough to wet the stick"

My late dad always used to say little loads and often

If you want to earn a small fortune from farming, start with a large one.


What does a farmer do when he wins the lottery - keep farming 'till it has all gone.

Some about if snows hanging about there’s more to come! Still odd bit of snow in the dyke backs around me

Still a bit of snow in the dyke back yon side of the valley and we’ve had snow showers blowing over this afternoon
