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

[organicguy]

I never regretted anything I did too well.
KISS

First loss is least loss - selling stock at market.
If he had a third hand he would need a third pocket to put it in - lazy person
Like a boar pig pissing in the snow - not a straight line
Don't eat yellow snow - say no more

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”

Robert Burns, who wrote that, was a farmer.

If you look after your stock well, they'll look after you.

 

[Timbo1080]

If it floats, flies or f**ks....rent it (The bloke from Easyjet I believe)....Always makes me chuckle.

Wheat into mud,
Barley into dust,
Beans deeper than the longest of Rook's beaks,
Rape like its never going to rain again.

N'ay cast a clout 'til the May is out....As said before....and is usually true.

My uncle used to preach :"Early to bed, early to rise, makes you healthy, wealthy and wise"......But I dont see many rich milkmen. And besides, "The Early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese".

I thought he was a tax collector!

That was an extra string to his bow. Farming was in the doldrums then, it seems.

 

[Red Fred]

If he had a brain, he'd be dangerous.
More than one way to skin a cat.

Never really knew much about him, but reading up, it does not seem he spent much time with farming.
A serial shagger perhaps

All tools are hammers unless it’s a screwdriver then it’s a chisel

 

[Scrapjockey]

There are other ways to kill a dog than choking him with butter.

You are one in a million,we needn't be sorry.

I'd sooner shoot him than salute him.

 

[Paul E]

You can't breed rats out of mice.
But you can breed mice out of rats.

It needs a bit of impact technology

 

[Kiwi Pete]

It needs a bit of impact technology

Dad called it "percussive maintenance" or "vibration strain"

 

[Shovelhands]

You can only pi$$ with the cock you’ve got.

One I think is great is far better told by @Shovelhands Just imagine his broad Essex accent......

He’ll know the saying I mean.

You pay to learn, boy....

it’s one that my grandfather used to regularly say to my father apparently and one I've heard myself from my father, a lot! Rarely is there a cockup, disaster, misguided purchase etc that hasn’t cost money, time, blood sweat and tears, or a combination of all of those! And there’s always a lesson to be learned from it, that’s cost something. If dad is not there to utter those immortal words, then I find that I’m muttering them to myself these day! You do indeed, pay to learn, boy...

'E weren't born or begotten, but kicked out a 'orse turd between yer and North Tawton!

 

[Spud]

You want to get out of the farm gate and learn summat lad, or you'll stop at he til you know nowt

If you keep on top of the little jobs, they won't become big ones (the same can be said about bills...)

It'll dry up sometime, just be ready when it does

 

[case44]

Oil and steady driving.

 

[Treecreeper]

He doesn't know if his backside is bored, punched or pecked out by magpies!
