Never carried a pistol while farming but then I don’t live in his area.
Fortunately he did carry.
My grandfather was a cotton farmer in Alabama. He was plowing one day when he heard a distinctive rattle. He looked down and realize he had stepped into a coiled rattlesnake. He yelled for his son to run to the house and get a rifle. His son shot and killed the snake. After that he always carried a sidearm in the fields.
