[InnVic]

I know a man with a tractor :confused:

[SHEILA 13]

We have an orchard of money trees in our back yard !!!!!!!!!

[JulieC]

There are a lot of strange anomalies here. We looked into buying a dairy farm to get Eb5 at one stage, if we had done so our green card would have cost us 500,000 dollars. Obviously we were doing it all wrong, 150 days milking cows would have done.

We have a lemon tree in the back garden. Does that qualify?

I guess, if you spend the required hours tending the tree!!!!:p

[byjove]

But then again there is a "no lemon law" in Florida!!!

[mark]

Lets all club together and buy a pig farm, that way we can get decent ham and bacon

[lorraine]

We have been dodging the wild Bore at the back of our house for the past 2 years , would that count????(and I wasnt talking about the hubby or the neighbours lol

[Munish]

Good. When it's set up you can sponsor me. My gardening skills are phenomenal so agricultural works shouldn't be that different. LOL

[punky]

Love the replies here rofl :)

[byjove]

Hey! Any of you can come do the hours in the grove anytime!!!!!!

[ChrisG]

Sorry Guys - but I win.
I have wonderful light display out in the back yard from all the fireflies I have been cultivating. Why?
Well I needed something to light the tunnel I have been digging fro the last 2 Years (while I waited for my visa).
And all the soil - Yes SOIL - NOT SAND (I have lost count of how many tons) I got out of the tunnel has meant that the whole area around where I live is now WELL OUT OF THE FLOOD ZONE and producing a fine crop of rhubarb.
All I have to do now is find a way of keeping the Wild Boar in place, Stop the resident Sand Hill Cranes and their young from pecking out the tips, work out how to spot the black snakes on the black soil, and keep an eye out for the bob cat we see evry now and then. - Just thankful the nearest Alligator is about 1/4 mile away as he is about 12-14 foot and rules the roost over 3 lakes.
Oh nearly forgot I have a fireant farm as well ............
So does that qualify -

[DEE F]

Ok ChrisG,You win,we cant ever top that hahahahahahaha take care.

Love Dee xxx

Right- I have to get up 3 hours before I go to bed, lucky if I get to suck on a damp tea bag and eat a lump of coal for breakfast - then I have to work 26 hours a day for $10 a year etc etc etc And you try telling the young ones of today - and they won't believe you.............
Ps I forgot earlier about the racoons, and Armadillos and vultures and the otter and the muddockers and the possums (glad we don't have a skunk) Oh and I nearly forgot the Lions and Tigers and bears - Oh my.....

Thinking of setting up an aligator farm., they keep running across the blvd from one lake to the other, or a raccon farm even a turtle farm as I am fed up with running in the road to stop the traffice while these creatures amble to and fro

[Kriz1]

They are shooting everything up here because the town has rabies...you get used to the smell of dead skunk in the mornings....:eek:

We are again having sightings of our Cape wolf...we saw him next to the ice rink a few years ago...and a cop stopped me on the highway one morning saying to be careful because he had nearly hit it as it ran across the road...

[byjove]

Trouble is guys! SORRY! You would have had to put in the hours/days B4 December 2006. So I'm still in the running then!!!!
