There's entire books about this sort of stuff, but just asking is probably the easiest option. If you don't want to be super obvious just ask her to do something alone with you.

Yeah if you're not really interested in her then I would just not even worry about it. Just do what you normally do and let her escalate things if that's what she wants to do.

Well if you are not interested and she likes you and she never says anything that's not really your problem.

@JesseJames 👆

@JesseJames do your kids like corn? I have lots of corn. 😂

@Jacob tracks handle mud better and like Jesse said they don't go flat. That picture I responded to him with is a deer antler in the tire of one of our seed carts. That might be good for him but it really sucks for me. A flat tire can take hours to get fixed especially when you are in the middle of a field 30 miles from the nearest town. Also I don't know if it's a function of the tracks or just the fact that the tractor is much newer, but the quadtrac has by far the smoothest ride of any tractor I've driven.

I enjoy it a lot, but I work between 12 and 17 hours a day and weekends are not guaranteed days off. This job is also pretty dangerous so it's definitely not for everyone.

It can vary. Days when we level bins are extremely physically intensive. Imagine moving several tons of corn or sunflowers inside a 80° bin with only a scoop shovel. There are also days where I sit in an air conditioned cab and the only workout I get is climbing up and down from the tractor.

@Jacob there's also one more thing that you should consider before moving out to a place like this. The isolation. I see the same 10 people every day and hardly anyone else. I grew up here so I'm used to it, but it can literally drive people crazy. Also very few potential GFs. I actually can't remember the last time I even saw an eligible woman. I'm 26 and the only single girl I know around here is 16.

The only other tractor that size I have driven is this 9380 and honestly the difference might just be in the seat. This tractor is about 20 yrs older.

We don't have many Mexicans up here and they can't operate equipment like ours and everyone knows it. Some of the farms around here hire South Africans. I met a couple at the bar a few weeks ago.

You don't put a Mexican in a $500,000 tractor pulling a $200,000 planter. It just isn't done.

This is my bosses new Dodge. He got it last week.

To be fair to dodge this was clearly a case of user error.

Fields can be deceptive. If you look at the top soil around this mud it looks pretty dry. There was no way any pickup was going to make it through there though.

@SamanthaM are you asking for yourself?

@Zyzz yeah no one ever complains about their work ethic. My boss said he'd hire them too, but they're too expensive.

I'm not sure what SAs ask for, but I get paid $13/hr + room and board.

Honestly it's pretty good for me. I don't pay for housing or food, and I'm a disabled vet so the military takes care of my medical. I could make a lot more money somewhere else but I can't emphasize enough how much I love my job.

Plus SD cost of living is pretty low so I'm actually doing ok financially.

Lol! I load the concentrated stuff into these sprayers without PPE so if I live you're probably safe. Honestly the harshest stuff we use is ammonia. Organic farmers need the same chemicals to produce their crops too. They just need to fertilize a lot more often because bird scat has less of what you need and a bunch of other stuff that you didn't want in the first place. I personally don't buy into a lot of the organic propaganda. I was a nuclear reactor operator in the navy and I like to think I have a pretty good understanding of chemistry. There might be some disadvantages to using modern herbicides but I am personally in the good outweighing the bad camp. Now if we could just stop using our scientific advances to feed worthless people everything would be perfect.

@Deleted User if I was going to boil down my opinion I would have to say that I basically bathe in synthetic crops and chemicals all day and if anything I've become infinitely more Chad since I started here. If you are concerned about your food don't be an urbanite and grow it yourself. There is no way in hell eating GMOs makes you more of a fag than someone who shops at Trader Joe's.

Yeah. I don't even touch tap water. That s*** is making the frogs gay.

Everything is relative. If you are even sort of careful you'll probably live until your too old to care for yourself anyway. One of my biggest fears is becoming a burden on my family. But I guess that's just me being white.

@Deleted User how old are you?

I just want to put this out there. I'm currently tied down, but if any IE girls need some dating profile pics I literally have access to thousands of acres of wheat.

It's almost ready too.

@micbwilli you're already married right?

Oh goyd I'm sorry bro!

The puppy avatar threw me off.

Goyd damn son! Get out of thine father's house. To be fair though I wasn't independent until I was 19 which is a year later than I would have liked.

That's great @Rogue !

That's what IE should be all about. Helping each other however we can!

👆 CDLs are gold. I just started learning how to drive truck and it's great. It's pretty easy and companies will pay a premium for guys they don't have to worry about drug testing. Regardless you need to figure something out. I hate to be tough love but IE is no place for NEETs.

Ok then first step is to tell you to stop being such a cuckold an stop asking to be bullied you pathetic nerd! Seriously just move out of your parent's house. IE won't let you starve but struggling a bit is good for you.

Yeah I was up front shooeing away the rainbow vestment clergy.

@John O - wheat field update. We got one!

The living large thing I definitely disagree with but if you just use traditional retirement options you're probably not going to be very happy when you're ready to retire. Personally my plan is to slowly transfer my wealth to my children before I die to make sure that I can teach them responsibility and also hopefully avoid as much taxes as possible. I want to die a poor man with a rich family.

There's no telling what they would do in a crisis. The elites will find a way to protect themselves. I'd honestly be most worried if you were relying on any sort of government pension or savings program but who knows what they would be willing to do to prevent food stamp riots.

Yeah I expect that anything the government does will be sold as a one time emergency measure. Who would have thought that they would keep taxing income after the World Wars? Tariffs will never drop below 50% of the Federal revenue. Once we get rid of those dang ransoms to the Barbary States we'll have a massive surplus!

CORN!

It's looking pretty good boys. My boss seems pretty happy. He says he might even be able to keep paying me.

Yeah it has been pretty good so far. It's too wet to get the tractors out in the field today to start planting sunflowers so we're going around checking the other fields.

.

@Deleted User what do you think her father will think about these? I was thinking of sending a dairy cow but apparently they breed Rodeo Bulls out here.

Yeah it was definitely mean mugging us.

We're also checking out some more bins. I definitely prefer the stairs over the ladder. Luckily these bins are pretty small.

There were a couple of baby birds on the steps.

Straight up pay. I also don't have paid time off, but I actually kind of prefer it that way because my boss is much more willing to let me go for a couple of days than they were at the factory I worked at before. They don't even track my time off. If I want to go camping or something I just let them know and I take off.

I don't do this job because I make a lot of money. With my work experience from the Navy I could probably pretty easily pull 6 figures working at a nuclear power plant. I do this because I love the freedom, being close to my family, and eventually I'd like to farm for myself. Honestly I'm kind of treating this experience as a school I don't have to pay for.

Yeah. I love my job and I think other IE guys would probably like this sort of work too, but I'm worried that some idealistic young identitaraian might get it into their head that this is easy and they can make good money doing it. That's definitely not the case. If they're looking for the experience than I'd say definitely do it but they should have a plan to build on that experience.

Yeah we call it being asset rich and cash poor. It also takes a lot of self discipline. Lots of farmers gamble it all away. My dad said it takes 3 generations for a farm to get rich and the 4th usually loses it all.

Filling up the sunflower planters. Hopefully we can get started tomorrow.

Hahaha that's nothing. We're planting 5000 acres. We have three of these planters and I'll be running seeds all day if the fields are dry.

Once I get back up to the shop I'll post another picture. That will blow your mind.

About 90% of these seeds will grow. Corn is about 96-97%

If you want a count of how many plants that amounts to I have no idea.

My boss might have a rough guess, but an acre is the size of a football field so needless to say it's hard to count how many flowers are on 5000 football fields.

My boss says about 18500 plants per acre.

@Jacob

We plant about 1.2 million wheat seeds per acre.

We do about 5000 acres of wheat too.

I figured that I'd repost the bins for scale.

Also all of the smaller bins on the left are seed bins.

Except for one. One is a pidgeon bin because it was left open one year when it was almost empty and no one wants to clean it out.

Haven't made it back to the shop yet. Still prepping for tomorrow.

(My boss is aware that his license plate is visible) If antifa wants to call him he'll just ask if you're Jewish.

@Jacob These totes are all full of seed.

And these are all of the ones we've used so far.

Also apparently someone loaded the seed truck. Which was nice of them.

I see my dog made it into the picture again. She loves being useful. I left her at the shop all day today. Maybe she learned how to drive a forklift.😂

This forklift. This thing is crazy reliable! Every time I drive it I think, "there's no way something this old works this good".

Nah. The tote I'm filling is just water and before that it was seed oil, but I'm mostly just amazed by this forklift. I'm moving 250 gal water totes over muddy ground and this thing just doesn't care.

In case anyone is wondering what we use seed oil for it goes in our sprayers to help with crop absorption and prevent evaporation loss of other chemicals. The medical treatment for accidental consumption is to drink 2 large glasses of water.

Case and I think it's a 62 or 63.

I read the whole thing. Basically he said we are really nice people who care about race. Other than some comments about Jews it makes us sound good. Honestly if I would probably show this to a normie to promote IE.

The tone he takes is ominous but he doesn't back it up with anything most normies would be afraid of.

Chevy to the rescue again.

That's not really a meme. We were a pretty big part of Cville and a certain former CEO did basically say he was running the show even though that wasn't really true.

It's a close fit.

Found another girl out in the wheat fields.

So I'm about to go meet a girl from my church who has traveled all the way from Australia to look for a christian husband. We've sent a few emails back and forth but today I'm actually going to meet her in person. Any last minute advice?

We are going to meet at a church retreat in another state so she won't see my house, but my house is pretty clean. I don't actually live there most of the time because I get room and board where I work.

I've changed my profile picture so I don't get confused with @BryceB-ND

You can't really read it in the thumbnail but I picked this truck for a reason.

👆 This

Oh they're Brits. Makes sense now. I'm surprised that they don't have to wear hijabs to please their new masters.

I'm sure a headscarf is more comfortable than a hard hat anyway.
