I can remember back when I was working with my father on Saturdays and Sundays we'd walk through the cow pastures and look at [E] the cattle and he'd explain to me [D] what was going on and needed a doctor or whatever.
He showed me how to do [G] that and we passed that on down to our children.
We have them walking through the fields and pig pens.
We would look at the [Am] cattle, the produce and everything and now all three of those are farming.
My oldest son Daniel, he's got his own equipment and we're all farming together with him and they took our farm and kind of updated us a little bit with the GPS.
[Bm] The average farmer probably puts in [D] a 14 hour day and if you figure out how much he makes an hour, it's [G] chicken feed really, [D] what they get paid.
It's probably not even minimum wage and I just hope our government would realize why the American farmer is [D] getting into sh**.
