Down-home wisdom from a Baton Rouge area farmer

Beauregard “Bo” Thibodeaux is a farmer near Baton Rouge. We asked him for some advice or life tips. Here are some of the best:

  1. “Don’t count your chickens before they peck through the gumbo.”
  2. “A crooked fence can still keep the cows home.”
  3. “When the bayou floods, learn to fish from your porch.”
  4. “If your rooster crows at midnight, he might just be in a different time zone.”
  5. “Muddy boots tell more stories than shiny shoes.”
