This 'farmer' is a class A jerk. Sounds like he is trying to intimidate Mr. Jarvis and take advantage of this man's good and honest nature.
I would tell him to get lost. If he is any kind of farmer he is getting MEGA bucks from the U.S. govt. anyway, NOT to work. A good number of the farmers here in Illinois are getting checks from Big Brother in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, one guy that farms near me got over a million for his 1200 acres so tell this guy to pack it.........how greedy, crying over a couple hundred bucks.....
