What's your day job?

Never got in on this first round.   I'm a Quality Assurance Analyst with a company building off-road and mining dump trucks.   This isn't me, but it's one of the trucks we build.

This pic is photoshopped.  Actually just a toy truck that is sold at KMart in the 70's put on top of some guy butt warming in front of a Chevy.

^^lol... IIRC, those rigs are diesel-electric hybrids.

MTU diesel engine 16V-4000 C23 with 2700 hp and 8336 lbf*ft. torque.  76.3 liters or 4654 cubic inches.  Siemens AC electrical drive system.   Same basic setup as used on high-speed trains in Europe.   500 ton gross vehicle weight - we've got pictures of some hauling 360 ton payload.   It's a bit like driving a house around.  

If I was photoshopping, I would have put it ON the Chevy.

I grew up on a Farm my entire life and went to School at Purdue.  I have a Bachelors in Soil and Crop Management.  Pretty much soil and plant chemistry.  I now work at a Chemical Fertilizer plant distributing to area Farmers.  I AM NO REDNECK. I work on all the diesel machinery there also.  I have been building VW diesels on the side for 10 years and wish I could open my own business.  I used to volunteer with the FFA.

Sorry, I had never heard of Joel Salitan until you posted.  So, I arm with his name, I googled him, and he lives NW of me.

I'd say, that a high 90s percentage of farms in Virginia are mult-generation family farms.  everywhere you go, you see a sign, "Century Farm" meaning that farm was started over 100 years ago and handed down.  When I bought my farm. I met one of my neighbors who has over a thousand acres, and the guy next to him 850, you get the idea.  Anyway, the neighbor reminded me I owned a "farmette" not a farm, since I only have 114 acres...

Interesting.
