Farming/Agriculture On Stamps

If your pockets are deep,
you may be able to secure covers that lend
admiration to your collection,
as this Massey plough 1890...for sale at $75

(maybe forerunner of the Massey Ferguson tractor?)

Another I found today

this looks like it will be a big collection!i am going to be busy for awhile

let me ask this question - would y'all put #2281 honey bee stamp in? I plan to because without the bees pollinating crops there would not be many of the fruits and veggies we enjoy today.

thanks again,
T.J.

Hi! T.J.



This to me is a very creative topical of yours.
I would include these fish and call it fish farming.
Happy stamping. KGV

T.J.
The great thing about stamp collecting is that you set the boundaries for your collection. I would include it because of the honey production.
Edit: When you get your 50 posts email me and I will sent you a Scott 286 the 1898 farming in the west to help you get started.

i just didn't know what I was getting into....did i?

yep,i am going to be busy.thanks to everyone for the help.now can I talk some one else into taking this topic on or am I the only crazy one?

remember : No Farmers = No Food

T.J.

You could always have wild harvest as well in farming! John

John,
instead of Pillar Of The Community under you name it should be :


KGV Collector
Stamp Instigator



Terry

This set is called Bush Tucker!



It is just a totally interesting topical.

I think I am becoming hooked on topicals. John

TJ - If you are interested, when you get to 50 posts email me your address and I'll send you the ones I posted and any more I find.

I have one of these for example.



Hey John,
Where is the witchety grub in that bush tucker?
We have a TV show called 'I'm a celebrity get me out of here' where they have to eat bush tucker and it always involves one of those.

Ok T.J. we are back on the farm...heres the plow man..i don't know if its hitched up to anything or if hes just pushing !!

philb,
it doesn't look like he is hooked up to anything.i didnt see him holding any reins like the man has in AnthonyUK's stamp.

but- life is always good on the farm

AnthonyUK - yes I am interested.thanks.

on a side note does anybody care to explain what witchety grub & bush tucker is?

T.J.

T.J. the Aussies eat some weird stuff..but at least they ship the kangaroo meat to McDonalds !

Well a witchety grub is a large grub that lives in Australia. You find them under ground or in decaying parts of trees. They are extremely nice to eat so long as they are well cooked, usually on an open fire. This is making me hungry.
The witchety grub is bush tucker. If it lives in the Australian Bushland and you do not die from eating it, it is bush tucker.

I love the advert for MaDonalds. John

T.J. I forgot!
When your 50 posts are up I also would really enjoy sending
you some freebie Aust stamps on farming.
I will contact you when this happens. John
