    Not from the midwest, but still rural. I'd add haulin hay. I'm still amazed that I was throwing bales on the trailer bed when I was 14. Those things are heavy! That and trying to feed the rams before they came after you. Run, Forest, Run!

    Back in the day, my brothers would have said bailing hay. Standing in the wagon and picking up, carrying, and stacking 100lb. bails all day long in the Indiana summer heat is definitely a workout.

    As far as the drainage ditch, I could use one, too. Although, our yard currently looks so much like a lake that I'm tempted to simply stock it with fish and call it a day.

    There's an option for fishing. Depending on how deep your car lake is, you might even get to put down Deep Sea calorific values. Or snorkelling.

    At my new house I spent a good 3 hours digging out rocks from my hard, packed clay soil so the new sod wouldn't get laid right over top of them...digging, squating, swinging a pickaxe and heavy lifting...I counted that as my workout for the day.

    Oh but first I had to harvest the corn and tend to the livestock! haha
