Farmers Prayer

The tractor lovers’ commandments:

1. Thou shalt not love thy tractor more than the wife and children; as much, but not more.
2. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s John Deere tractor, nor his loader, nor his steering COMMANDPRO JOYSTICK.
3. Thou shalt not store thy tractor out of doors, except for thy modern iron.
4. Thou shalt not read Farming Today on company time, for thy employer makes it possible to continue thy tool payments.
5. Thou shalt not despise thy neighbour’s Case Quadtrac triangular caterpillar tracks, nor his Lamborghini Tractor.
6. Thou shalt not allow thy daughters nor thy sons to get married during the holy days of the national convention.
7. Thou shalt not deceive thy wife into thinking that thou art taking her for a romantic Sunday drive when indeed, thou art going to look at another tractor.
8. Thou shalt not promise thy wife a new addition to thy house then use it to store tractors.
9. Thou shalt not tell thy spouse the entire cost of the restoration, at least not at the same time.
10. Thou shalt not buy thy wife a floor jack for Christmas.
11. Thou shalt not send good parts for obsolete machines to the scrapyard, nor the machines themselves, lest they be beyond saving and with no salvageable parts located thereon.
12. Thou shalt not leave untreated water in thy tractors cooling system during the freezing winter weather.

Amen
