If you’ve ever driven through the countryside, you’ve probably noticed them — farms with stuff EVERYWHERE. Actually, if you really paid attention, you’d notice that ALL fully operational farms have stuff everywhere.
Random buckets, large containers, tractors, equipment . . . they lay scattered about the property. It looks, well, dumpy! What’s up with these lazy farmers not cleaning things up? Why can’t they take a few minutes to get everything in order like everyone else does?
If you really stop to look at EACH farm, you might get an idea of why. Retired farms are usually the tidiest. The farmer is no longer pushing crops out of the ground on hundreds of acres, maybe just a few to keep him occupied. The wife isn’t chasing kids, or cows, and they spend their extra time in the garden and farming their lush lawns (case in point, my own grandparents).
You have the farms where they farm part-time. At least one person is working full-time and they farm only part of the day/week. They might argue a case for ATTEMPTING to keep the place tidy since they do work other jobs nd have certain expectations placed on them by their co-workers and family. You might see a farm implement out, or a few random trash articles.
The full-time farmer, however, is a mess. He’s working relentlessly to try to earn his living. Animals require feeding, cleaning, birthing, slaughtering. He has more animals to care for. He has more land he farms to feed those animals. He’s always trying to fix something that’s broken, or chase down an animal that escaped. He has no time to clean, let alone care about the state of how things appear (although his wife might spend time fretting and looking about at the mess while she works).
While there undoubtedly are those that ARE too lazy to tidy their areas, understand that farm life is a crazy life, and you are always jumping from chore to chore. If you see a tidy farm, they obviously have a bit more free time!
