To think farmers are inconsiderate bastards...

[softlysoftly]

.. and that they should fuck right off with their combining?!

Seriously we want to sit outside with wine the children in the paddling pool but they are pissing off the cornflies which in turn are driving me BALLISTIC.

Did you know that some people who buy barn conversions are often surprised that a farm is nearby? What did they think the original purpose of the barn was?

Farmers are awful with all their smelly animals and hayfever-inducing plants. I think we should concrete over all farms so we don't have to put up with this shit.

People who get annoyed by farming should stop eating then .

I'm in awe of farmers, getting up at silly o'clock day in day out to rear animals. There's a Claas store up the road from here, it fascinates me every time we go past. Not sure I'd be allowed in for a look though.

Loving the idea of tarmacing the countryside, would clear up my hayfever a treat. Who should I write to?

Inconsiderate bastards

They drive massive tractors really bloody slowly all over the roads too

Your right, us farmers are inconsiderate bastards. How very dare we make people's lives difficult with our big noisy machines, send don't get me started with the dust and smells!
I mean why do we even bother when you can make a perfectly decent loaf of bread from chalk and sawdust porridge is simply divine. I will just pop up to the corn field now and tell Dh to stop as everyone can survive just fine on belly button lint, toe jam and licking windows!

Don't ban tractors!

DS1 loves tractors, it really makes his day if we see one drive past!

And judging by the amount of people I saw at Tractorfest when we took DS1 there, he's far from the only tractor enthusiast.

If you could boots that would be fab.

I mean who are they kidding anyway, everyone knows decent steaks and loaves come directly from the local artisan shop anyway.

I reckon all this farting around in fields is just for show.

Which is worst, harvesting or muck spreading?

Anybody with a barn, land and a tractor should be shot!

I hate anybody that has what I want

What I really object to is when they combine at night, the selfish gits, so as you drive past you see these spooky little headlights in the field like aliens have landed. And then they moan about crop circles!

Worryingly, my ipad tried to autocorrect gits to g&ts.

The muck spreading is very unreasonable. Especially when I have my washing out. Some days you can taste it.

When I am out walking and the muck spreader goes past I have to shut my eyes, and firmly close my mouth while the poo gets flicked about.

I live one house width from a field and I love it ... love watching the seasons change, and the wildlife (my cats love the wildlife too ). We get maybe 2 or 3 noisy days and a couple of smelly days a year and yeah it's a bit annoying when all the chaff ends up over your windows and car, but think that's a small price to pay for living somewhere usually so quiet and peaceful.

See Kentish it's a toss up between dust and cornflies Vs pure out stench.

I'm going to opt for coping with muck spreading more, though realising that the tank emptying the houses cesspit is probably going to pop round the corner and chuck this year's poo collection on something you are going to eat shortly does make you wash your veg better

Joys there will be loads of tractors going cheap when the tarmacking plan goes ahead

Ha I just drove my audi 6 houses down the lane between my Dads and my sisters so I didn't get covered in cornflies again. How townie is that.

Think I might have my "born on a farm" status revoked soon

Tractors round here go dead fast, unless you go miles into the countryside and find farmer Giles on his 19th century fordson!!

I don't even smell the muckspreading anymore
One of DS's teachers is a self confessed townie who commutes 2 hours to school and apparently insisted on closing the windows because of the smell of the manure.
None of the local students could smell a thing, they were all too used to it!

I'm pretty sure they sprayed shite around near me yesterday.

Its that or someone had seriously:smelly feet.

Do you know what's worse than combining, muck spreading and tractors in the road? Puddles of silage water. I mean really. Cows can't possibly need that much feed over winter. Not at all still bitter about growing up with a silage pit behind the house and having to dodge the puddles to get anywhere.

We can smell when our cess needs emptying.

Usually in the middle of a bbq with friends....

Decomposing fox is quite a memorable country aroma, I find!

When you say 'muck', what kind of excrement are we talking about?

I reckon harvest is worse.

Cornflies, slow moving tractors every-bloody-where and dust

I get used to the muck spreading after a while and don't notice the smell

My Dad is a farmer.
He would say bloody townies moving to the country then complaining about it.
