Another Tennessean here. I found this site whilst reading tractor reviews and got sucked in by all the neat stuff. I growed up on a family farm, about twenty of us living on a couple hundred acres. We raised and ate piggies, chickens, a little cattle and whatever critter wandered within range. We truck farmed, mainly watermelons and maters with some taters and assorted other veggies and fruits. My Momma was a horse trainer and breeder so we always had plenty of the four legged stomachs around to cause various injury and annoyances.
I've been a Police Officer, (which I truly loved and devoted ten years and six months to) over-the-road truckdriver, cobbler and cabinetmaker. I've also owned a couple of landscape/irrigation companies and squeezed in jobs at printing, greenhouses, grease monkeying, and a few I probably have forgotten.
Right now I own a cabinet shop, but have had to cut way, way back because of a few pesky health issues. I'm planting out an acre or so with the hopes of expanding that to five to ten next year if I can make any money off it. Presently I'm trapped within the confines of suburbia in Memphis, but a move back to the sticks is in the foreseeable future. I lived in St. Joseph Missouri for a bit and was held prisoner of war in the frozen tundra of Madison Wisconsin for a couple of years.
Anyway, this place is really neat and just the sight of a link to Massad Ayoob makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
