In CA we have lots of farmers but not many cowboys. A big crop here is Mary Jane. The rest makes up 2% of our state gross product and 13% of the nation's food. One forth of that 2% is livestock revenue. A hell of a lot of chickens make up much of that. So, cowboys are few.

Cowboys with combines are simply "making hay." They are not farmers. So they can have their own set of rules if they want them. Me, I eat salad and don't hunt. My neighbors waive, my fellow citizens don't. We'd never have our hand down if we did. There isn't much of the time you are not in someone else's sight unless you're sitting on the crapper. If you waived, you'd look like Dave on the enhancement commercials.

But, I could shoot a few cell phones.
