Hello oerk
Thank you for the offer of translation. I may take you up on that. Thanks for the link to the dictionary.
The invite to come play would be my idea of how to travel but I will have to figure out a way to convince my wife of that. From what I remember from geography Barvaria is a very beautiful country. Would love to be able to see it some day.
I couldn't say how widely used the term stubble jumper is. I would quess it covers most of the grain farming regions in Canada and the US. Probably used more about 15 to 20 years ago.
Thanks Bentley
Will keep checking the post and if I need to know I will ask.
Regards
