A Texan farmer went to Australia for a vacation. There he met an Australian farmer and got talking to him. The Australian farmer showed off his big wheat field and the Texan said, "Oh! We have wheat fields that are at least twice as large."Then they walked around the ranch a little, and the Australian showed off his herd of cattle. The Texan immediately said, "We have longhorns that are at least twice as large as your cattle."The conversation had, meanwhile, almost died when the Texan saw a herd of kangaroos hopping through the field. He asked the Australian farmer, "And what are those?"The Australian farmer replied with an incredulous look, "Don't you have any grasshoppers in Texas, mate?"

He lives a mile south of here."The young determined preacher tried again asking the farmer, "Are you lost?""Naw! I've lived here all my life," answered the farmer."Are you prepared for the resurrection?" the frustrated preacher asked.This caught the farmer's attention and he asked, "When is it gonna be?"Thinking he had accomplished something the young preacher replied, "It could be today, tomorrow, or the next day."Taking a handkerchief from his back pocket and wi...

2008-05-20 18:36:00
My second day at the BloodhoundBlog Unchained Social Media Conference proved to be more than I expected - these guys know how to deliver the good stuff!  The morning started with an epiphany and intriguing historical review from Greg Swann on, well, history - from primitive cultures to the Greeks to the 20th Century.  I loved how he tied the history and philosophy to the evolution of Web 2.0.  Visit the Unchained You Tube Channel for all the videos.

Levon Helm - Dirt Farmer [2007]
2008-05-09 16:53:00
Levon Helm's early solo albums, made in the 1970s after the Band initially broke up, were hit-and-miss affairs, but his first solo studio release in 25 years represents a rich return to his Southern roots. With co-production and musical support from daughter Amy (of Ollabelle) and multi-instrumentalist Larry Campbell (long a mainstay of Bob Dylan's band), Helm gives organic unity and rough-hewn vitality to a selection of Cajun fiddle waltzes, country blues, hardscrabble folk, and some more contemporary material (from the likes of Steve Earle and Buddy and Julie Miller). Following his recovery from throat cancer, Helm's voice has a slightly different timbre, but his phrasing is unmistakable as the same vocalist who sang "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" and "Rag Mama Rag." With Amy providing harmony and duet vocals and Levon's drumming evoking his signature work with the Band, Helm takes material from a variety of sources and makes it all his own. --Don McLeeseTrack List of L...

The Bachelor 13 Farmer dell?
2008-04-21 07:38:00
April 20, 2008 — There are soybeans, corn and wheat as far as the eye can see. But in rural Portage Des Sioux, Missouri, population 351, there are hardly any single women. So when the CW came to the Mississippi River town to cast its own farm-based version of “The Bachelor,” farmer Matt signed on. “I had filled out an application for ‘The Bachelor’ four years ago,” says Matt, 29. “It was pretty much a joke. I forgot about it. But then I got a call from a casting director.” The college-educated farmer, who won’t use his last name on the show, is the proud and successful hayseed who shows female city slickers the ropes in the CW’s “Farmer Wants A Wife,” which premieres April 30 at 9 p.m. Ten city girls were flown in for a month last July to see if they would be compatible with Matt, tractors, bingo night and life without Starbucks.
