A farmer is suspected of being involved in a bank robbery. Although the police have not yet found the money he allegedly stole, he has still been detained.
During this time, his wife at home tries to keep their farmland from being abandoned. However, since she is not as skilled as her husband, one day, she writes him a letter:
– I want to plant potatoes in the largest field right in front of the barn. When should I plant them, dear?
He replies in a letter:
– Do not touch that field. It is where I buried something very valuable.
– Since all correspondence from prisoners is monitored, the prison director immediately informs the police. The police then rush to the field, bringing various digging tools, and the field is turned upside down.
The next day, he writes to his wife:
– Now you can plant the potatoes.

A farmer says to his wife:
– I really want to breed our cow, which gives a lot of milk, with an ostrich that has a very long neck.
– Why do you want to do that, dear?
– So we can have an animal that gives milk at home but eats the grass from our neighbor’s yard.
A journalist asks a farmer:
– Last year, the harvest was terrible, wasn’t it?
– That’s right, the farmer replies. The harvest was so bad that when my family opened corn for dinner, my father alone finished off 5 hectares.
