โœฆ Synopsis


The author of Don't Whiz on an Electric Fence and When I Am an Old Coot spreads some down-home, hard-won, gut-busting facts.

Dishing out witty one-liners and old-fashioned country logic the same way an old camp cook dishes out beans and biscuits, Roy English's Advice from a Country Farmer is simply this—no-nonsense humor and wisdom from a country gentleman schooled in common sense and kindness.

  • "Most farmers work only half a day; the other twelve hours they do other stuff."
  • "When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty."
  • "Don't skinny dip with snapping turtles."
  • "Horsepower is no substitute for horse sense."
  • "The only farmers who sleep late are in the cemetery."
  • "Nobody works harder than a farmer, except maybe a farmer's wife."
