When I was a kid growing up on the farm, joke telling was a very common 
pastime.  One catagory was "Texas" jokes - you know, based on everything is 
bigger in Texas.
Well, I like to tell people that Saskatchewan is a small province in Canada 
that is about the size of Texas.  When I was growing up, farms were small. 
Most that came thought the dirty thirties were lucky if they had the "home 
quarter" left, or half a section at most.  Now farms need to be a lot bigger 
to survive, and there are indeed, some pretty good sized ones.
Now for the truck story.  It seems there was this visiting Texas rancher that 
was having a conversation with a now successful farmer who had managed to put 
together a rather large farm.  This rancher was trying to get the farmer to 
visualize just how large his ranch was.  So he said "In the morning when the 
sun comes up, I can get in my pickup truck and drive in one direction all 
day. When the sun sets, I still won't have reached the end of my property."
To which the Saskachewan farmer said "I know what you mean.  I had a truck 
like
that once."
