The farmer’s last will – A bittersweet last will and testament – what the farmer has to leave behind when his time comes …
The farmer’s last will:
I leave:
- To my wife, my overdraft at the bank … maybe she can explain it.
- To my banker, my soul … he has the mortgage on it anyway.
- To my neighbor, my clown suit … he’ll need it if he continues to farm as he has in the past.
- To the ASCS, my grain bin … I was planning to let them take it next year anyway.
- To the county agent, 50 bushels of corn, to see if he can hit the market– I never could.
- To the junk man, all my machinery … he’s had his eye on it for years.
- To my undertaker, a special request … I want six implement and fertilizer dealers for my pallbearers. They are used to carrying me.
- To the weatherman, rain and sleet and snow for the funeral, please … no sense in having good weather now.
- To the gravedigger … dont bother. The hole I’m in should be big enough.
