My view being a female farmer. There are no if, ands or buts about it, there is a difference in female and male farmers.
And this is my view…..literally, my view.
Being a female farmer is different than being a male farmer for one major reason, I have to carry toilet paper in the tractor because I can’t carry out all tasks standing up!
Being the only female in the group here I had a hard time establishing how to carry out my business. For a long time every time the tractor would stop and I wasn’t reachable on the 2-way radio tractors and trucks were converging on my parked tractor with me crouching between the wheels seeing if I needed help…….
I finally had to learn to just announce “union break” over the 2 way radio as my signal. So yes I have to announce my restroom break.
I do however have rules:
- Tractor must be in PARK, I don’t want run over with my pants around my ankles.
- Take Phone, should Rule 1 be broken and happen I want to call for help.
- Scan your surroundings, road frontage, houses, other operators in the field, trail cams. Be aware that the view standing up is different than the view at a squat.
- Face the wind, always face the wind girls!
Night time mission bonus rule:
- Turn off tractor lights, they only act as spot lights! {I might of learned this the hard way}
