My dad used to play this song when I was a little kid. took me forever to find it. Every time I hear this it reminds me of the place I'm from. Stan Rogers is incredible.

I'm from Nova Scotia farming stock, and as much as I love Stan's songs from the sea, this song touches me the deepest. Hard times some years but by God I wouldn't trade them for anything.

"Emmett Pierce the other day took a heart attack and died at 42. You could see it coming on cause he worked as hard as you." Brilliant and chilling lyrics.

So great to listen to this song--I saw Stan numerous times in Ottawa and Kingston (at the great Grand Theatre). A classis, Canadian singer/songwriter--sorely missed.

I was fortunate enough to have someone share this with me, I'm sentimental I suppose, but this song ALWAYS brings tears. I realize NOW how difficult it must be to farm in my home state, Minnesota, How much more difficult can it be in Canada?

besides his masterful songwriting - Man, what a voice.

Thank you, I'm sending this to my brother in Nebraska who is pulling the BIG grain wagon next to the combine. 25,000 pounds of corn!

My mum was a Saskatchewan Stubblejumper of farming stock, and this song always makes me think fondly of my farming uncles out there. Mum left the farm at 19 for Toronto, and only went back for visits, but she "got" this song, and loved it. Thanks for sharing it.
