We need a Reality Show about Hobby Farming

CJBOTA · Jan 25, 2012

I started hobby farming about 4 years ago. I grow Strawberries, peaches, apples, and Nectarines. I have also done logging and firewood. During this time I could have provided some pretty good episodes. I have visited humor, drama, pride, shame, fear, stupidity, luck, successes, and failures. I have laughed, cried, prayed, bled, sweated, been exhausted, and experienced miracles. I almost forgot to mention the weather, mud, deer, turkeys, crows, and ground hog experiences. And then there's the tractors, farm equipment, and chemicals. Oh yea, let's not forget the neighbors, the Amish, the Mennonites, good advice, and bad advice. I have endured 2 or 3 ongoing saga's with neighbor kids working for me. And I use the term working loosely. In four years of doing something totally new, I could write a book or do a one hour TV series for atleast two years. You would not beleive the money I have spent to create such entertainment. My wife commented about how good our first peach tasted, I replied " It should taste good it cost $25000" We could close each episode with my nightly visit on TBN. I like to see how my bad day stacks up with the rest of my fellow wanna be farmers on TBN. From the guy who just rolled his new tractor to the guy that had to dig a hole to bury his neighbor's horse, I can always find entertainment on TBN. Ahh, the farming life for me.
