Cold Country Wheat Farmer Recruiting

1911, London
"I'm here to see Mr. J. Obed Smith about emigrating to Canada."
"I'm Mr. Smith, Assistant Superintendent of Emigration. Do you farm, young man?"
"No, sir. I'm a cobbler's apprentice."
"No future in cobbling, son. None at all."
"That's what my girl said when she left me."
"Girls love a wheat farmer, and that's a fact. We'll teach you to farm."
"What's Canada like, sir?"
"Beautiful country, my boy. Mild climate, and 100 women to every man."

Yeah, girls do love a wheat farmer. I guess that's why so many porn movies feature girls doing it with wheat farmers...
who wear gold chains and drive corvettes.

I'm chuckling, Texan. But that might be the Jack Daniels.
No, it's you.

Houses on giant stilts of wheat. Brilliant, except at harvest time. Then the dishes all break.

I think they were just smoking the wheat.
