If the USA were to suddenly ban 5 gal plastic buckets, the farm & ranch sector would be in a world of serious feces...
You could always buy Yeti buckets?
I just want to know what that bag of extra wide egg noodles are for
A man/woman has to eat lunch.

Any of the contestants want to explain or expound on their pics?
And any of the winners want to pick a subject for the April contest? Or do you want me to delve into the list of suggestions, found in the Photo Contest Forum?

Thanks @TCRanch !
Number 6 is my work truck. I’m down to hand feeding 19 buckets of feed every morning. Plus all the essentials; scoop shovel, pry bar, baling wire, roll of barb wire, T post or two.
Under the back seat is a sledge hammer, crowbar, spade, halter, and marking flags.
Usually a gun floating around in the front or back seat.
What about “I knew better but did it anyway “ for April?

Mine is pic one. That's actually my bed on top. I have a flatbed. It was a weird story from the start.
I took off the bed when it was brand new hoping to sell it at a good price ($3000) and quickly. I posted it on a site that supposedly specialized in truck beds and a week or so later I get a call from a somewhat crazy talking lady that wants the bed. I say sure come and get it, where you from. She says Phoenix. Just to remind everyone, I am close to Waco Tx.
I say okay, c'mon. She says "my son is in Florida. He will pick it up". I say okay, send him on. Meanwhile I would like payment, she says "okay, I will wire you the money". Well that set off some alarms since she didn't know me or really didn't ask questions but sure enough, she does it and the money arrives in my checking account.
Three or four days later, I get a call from her son. He says "I'll be there in two hours". Well about four hours later he comes driving up and I think to myself "Dude, where's your trailer". He apologizes for being late and said he had to stop and get some straps.
Well the bed was brand new and thats why the lady wanted it as she had wrecked hers and I was thinking how are we going to load this thing without scratching it up. Luckily I had both of my tractors here with hay forks so we each got on one, lifted off of the trailer it was on, pulled the trailer out of the way, then backed his truck underneath the suspended bed. He spent the next two hours securing it for the long drive to Phoenix. I never heard another word from either of them so I guess it worked out.
Thats him under the bed finishing the tie down.

Mine is my feed truck. A small mountain of bale twine. 2 big square bales a day from December to now. Each bale has 6 twines which are about 22 feet long. The bale hook stuck in the twine pile is a handy tool when pulling the twine off. The gas jugs are there because that flake feeder trailer will make look like you know nothing about backing a trailer. Lot easier to just fill the jugs and pack them to the truck. That half of a lick tub was used to water a down cow.
Someone else can pick the next topic. They can also have my share of the prize money.

Mine is the one under construction. I bought the truck an Isuzu FSR 19 years ago and it had a potato chip delivery van on the back which I removed. I looked around for a flatbed for it and found an old bee keepers bed that sorta fitted (750mm across the bearers instead of the 800mm of the chassis) however I made it work. it was very heavily made with 6mm checker plate on the floor and I was always going to build a new one for it but what I had was working. The fellow down the road has been looking for work and is a good welder and my eyes are not good for welding anymore so I thought this would be a good project for him. It is finished now and painting will start tomorrow. I am hoping to save close to 1 tonne which will be handy for picking up hay as we are extremely dry here with no feed going into winter. It will also be 100mm (4") lower and attached to the truck better with fish plates instead of the old U bolts.

That is just my feed truck. That is all it ever does. It is a standard cab 1997 Ford F350 with 2017 Washington license. It never gets out of first gear. It is never much over half a mile from the house. The only thing in the cab is me, 2 dogs, And on the dash there is an ice scraper, the key fob that runs the flake feeder, and a set of binoculars for checking out new calves. My pickups which go down the road may have a little more stuff in them.Im envious of how yall get around with so little stuff. Thats just my bed.

The vet I worked for had a full size crew cab truck with a full size vet box and it only barely had room for him in it.
