I hate to state the obvious but sitting in a field of hay is not what makes a farmer a farmer. My husband is a full time farmer. He repairs tractors, tunes them up, plants, harvests, hauls the grain, dries it, feeds some of it to the animals. He fixes things around the farm-equipment, fences, etc. He feeds livestock daily, plants, fertilizes and cuts hay, bales it. Hauls it, stacks it, etc. He never just "sits in a hay field".
at any rate, I quilt my own quilts so therefore I must be a quilter.
