Hey guys an easy way to remember the days in a month . You use your knuckles . Make a fist. Starting with the knuckle on you index finger that knuckle will be January, in-between your first and second knuckle would be February then the 2nd knuckle would be march and so on. So the knuckles are months with 31 days and in- between the knuckles are months with 30 days.

Sorry to pop your bubble but the heavy equipment operators on road construction jobs work harder than a farmer does and longer hours. I own farm land in North Dakota that has been in the family for a 125 years. My grandpas farmed with horses, along with my great-uncles, great-great uncles, great-grandpas, great-great grandpas... In North Dakota if one out of ten farms even have a chicken I would be surprised. They have no livestock and 90% of the time the wife works in town. Hard working farmers my ass.
