What do farmers and football have in common? They both have to deal with adverse weather conditions. Farmers are getting out and tending to animals 365 days a year, no matter the weather. The animals come first, before the farmer and their families. No matter what the weather, the farmer is out there taking care of their livestock. Farmers work 365 days a year. No snow days. No holidays.
Two of this weekend’s playoff games could demonstrate that point, as USDA Meteorologist Brad Rippey explains, starting with the Steelers game in Pittsburg and then the Kansas City game tomorrow:
For the farmers, they won’t close. They will be out there in the cold and blowing wind, tending to the livestock. They will be praying for machinery to work, fences to stay put and that their axe doesn’t break when opening the ice on the water tanks. If you know a farmer…tell them thanks,
