What makes a farmer, producer, rancher...
Living in a itty bitty town, one 4-way stop light, and neighbors 1 or 2 miles away is the life for me. I don't live on a great huge farm, honestly I live on a very tiny farm. I have 15 chickens, a golden retriever, a heifer (lives at a different farm), dairy calf feeder steer that will becoming soon (at my grandpa's farm) and 20 sheep that will be entering the barn no later than the end of March. Dose this make a farmer? A rancher? A producer?
To me, I am a farmer, a producer...someone who is a billboard for agriculture. My mother calls us spring farmers, we basically have livestock during the spring, but throughout the year my time is spent on Northern Indiana's Largest sheep operation, taking care of my heifer, helping my grandpa restoring tractors, and FFA.
Can you really determine what a farmer, producer and rancher is?
