Advice from a Country Farmer

By Roy English

The author of Don’t Whiz on an Electric Fence and When I Am an Old Coot spreads some down-home, hard-won, gut-busting facts.
 
Dishing out witty one-liners and old-fashioned country logic the same way an old camp cook dishes out beans and biscuits, Roy English’s Advice from a Country Farmer is simply this—no-nonsense humor and wisdom from a country gentleman schooled in common sense and kindness.
 

• “Most farmers work only half a day; the other twelve hours they do other stuff.”
• “When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.”
• “Don’t skinny dip with snapping turtles.” 
• “Horsepower is no substitute for horse sense.”
• “The only farmers who sleep late are in the cemetery.”

“Nobody works harder than a farmer, except maybe a farmer’s wife.”
