And on the eighth day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, I need a caretaker. So God made a farmer God said, I need somebody willing to get up before dawn. Milk cows work all day in the fields, milk cows again, eat supper and then go to town to stay past midnight at a meeting of the school board. So God made a farmer. I need somebody with arms strong enough to Russell, a calf and yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild. Somebody to call hogs, tame cantankerous machinery, come home hungry, have toe wait lunch until his wife's done feeding visiting ladies and tell the ladies to be sure and come back real soon and mean it. So God made a farmer. God said, I need somebody willing to sit up all night with a newborn colt and watch it die, then dries eyes and say, Maybe next year I need somebody who can shape an ax handle from a persimmon sprout shoe, a horse with a hunk of car tyre who could make harness out of haywire feed sacks and shoes scraps and who, planting time and harvest season will finish his 40 hour week by Tuesday noon than painting from tractor back, but in another 72 hours. So God made a farmer God had to have somebody willing to ride the rights of double speed to get the hand ahead of the rain clouds and yet stop in midfield and raced to help when he sees the first smoke from a neighbor's place. So God made a farmer, God said, I need somebody strong enough to clear trees and he bails yet gentle enough to tame lands and wean pigs intend. The pink comb bullets will stop is more for an hour to splint the broken leg of a metal arc. It had to be somebody who had plowed deep and straight, not cut corners, somebody to seed. We'd feed, breed and rake and disc and plough and plant and tie the fleece and strain the milk and replenish the self feeder and finish our hard week's work within a five mile drive to church, somebody who'd bail the family together with the soft, strong bonds of Sharing, who would laugh and then sigh and then reply with smiling eyes when his son says he wants to spend his life doing what Dad does. So God made a farmer
