Parson, Kansas —
10. You wrote the note’s due date in the dust on your pickup fender and, well heck, rain wasn’t even in the forecast.
9. It would be premature to order fertilizer before the impact of the Gulf oil spill and the Chinese economic summit is clear.
8. You’re awaiting evidence that the barrel price has bottomed out before you change the oil in the tractor.
7. Since your neighbor buys better bulls, fixing the fence would be counter-productive.
6. You regard that row of junk machinery as a windbreak, wildlife habitat and your hold position in the metals market.
5. Didn’t you read somewhere that bull calves gain faster?
4. Allowing johnsongrass to go to seed may be your best defense against sericea lespedeza encroaching into your pasture.
3. Delaying harvest gives you an opportunity to assess the standability of corn and soybean cultivars.
2. Since your accountant charges by the hour, you don’t want to give him too much time to work on your taxes.
1. When it comes to those little honey-do projects around the house, it is absolutely critical that the moon sign be right.
