I think that's pretty much the same way everybody learns... "STAY THE AWAY FROM THE FENCES!"
I remember an article by Baxter Black once; it included an "Agricultural Survivability Test". One of the questions was:
I became involved in agriculture because:
A. I inherited a large estate and the joy of being connected to the land from my esteemed grandfather.
B. My daddy chained me to a tractor when I was 10.
my answer was "B"...
I learned how to drive when I was 9 on a 65hp Farmall tractor...dad parked it out in the middle of a field and showed me where the clutch was, how the gearshift worked, and where the throttle and brake was...told me to stay the away from the fences and walked off...I thought it was very cool...
then the next weekend he showed me how to use the rollover plow and then assigned me a hundred acre field...

I worked with my grandfather clearing out brush a when I was about 13. That is not fun at all. But it does build character, and it teaches you to appreciate sitting at a desk while earning more money.
.....and then I saw this woman standing next to the fence only wearing a bikini! She was pouring beer all over her chest and motioned for me to drive the tractor over to her. When I got there she tore her top off and whistled loudly. Then, by the call of her whistle, 5 more married women who had been lying hidden in the hay jumped up. They all ran topless towards me while I was sitting on my tractor. They told me it was sexy. They had there way with me for the next 9 years. Since I was 18 by then, it was all legal. :p

I'm sure glad you met Spurswoman and finally got laid...don't be a hater...
I dug trenches for an upscale landscaper when I was a teenager...Chopped out dirt for retaining walls...It would be 100 degrees outside & I remember the married women standing inside their air conditioned homes in their bikinis, sipping ice tea, looking at me like I was a captured slave or something...
Digging out yucca plants was the worst...I did it all by hand... (No tractor)...A kind elderly gentleman would give me his 1963 T-Bird...to pull the things out of the ground...That is when the chains did not snap...The car was so powerful & weighed so much, it had no problem at all pulling those stumps clear...
I used to ride a 4-wheeler down West Texas caliche roads, in 20 yard increments, flagging for my uncle the crop duster.
To anyone that says pesticides are dangerous, I say bull ! I turned out fine.
I'll never take an onion for granted again......
