dirt farmer

One might think that local popular outrage toward outsiders would tilt the balance in favor of Jon Tester, who started out as a dirt farmer from Big Sandy.

The rural dirt farmer versus the decorated Navy SEAL.

“I’m just a dirt farmer trying to do what’s right for the people in my state and across the country.”

Calling himself a “seven-fingered dirt farmer” after losing three fingers in a meat grinder as a child, Tester still returns home to work a farm in Big Sandy, Montana, that his family has held for three generations.
