Teddy Allen: Don’t cuss a farmer with your mouth full
Shreveport Times
The above is one of my favorite bumper stickers.
In my book it actually IS acceptable to cuss a farmer if he’s driving bad and you’re stuck behind him. And I don’t care if he’s driving a tractor or a truck.
But I always wait until I’m through chewing before I do.
This week Louisiana Ag Credit held its annual split meeting for its stockholders, which means our local farmers were bunched up on a couple of evenings, like ears of corn in a crib. One meeting was in Bossier City and the other was in Ruston. Steak suppers both nights, and I was privileged to attend each. One word: glory hallelujah. I haven’t eaten steak two nights in a row since I sold my Broadmoor-area cattle farm.
