Reasons I know I'm farming for real:
1. I'm sunburned and its April in Maine
2. I wear work gloves daily, for at least 30 min
3. I wear Carhartts in earnest
4. I have blisters from my boots, on my heels and calves
5. I'm thinking about getting a straw hat
6. A guy at the gas station looked at my work outfit and said, "Earned your keep today, eh?"
7. I go to bed at 9:15. and fall asleep.
8. I use hand salve 8 times a day and not just because it smells good
9. My hands are really clean about once a week
10. I know what a mold board plow, a harrow discer and a spader do
11. I know where to find free hay
