Cheerful Farmers?

The Des Moines Register reports on Czech ag tire manufacturer Mitas North American opening a tire plant in Charles City.  Here is the president of the company comparing Iowa to Europe:

Charvat can’t say enough for the state and Charles City.
“The workers are industrious and train well,” he said. “The farmers in Iowa are cheerful people. In Europe everybody complains, and nobody complains more than the farmers. Here the farmers are optimistic people.”
Charvat said about half of the work force is made up of farmers who are working at what amounts to a second job, a longstanding tradition in Iowa. One of Mitas’ native Iowa workers, production scheduler Brian Wolf, still milks cows on a dairy operation on family land near Nashua.

He's also learned about U.S. farmer politics:

When Mitas showed its tires mounted on real tractors, it showed an understanding of the politics of the U.S. farm implement business by displaying a green Deere, a red Case and a blue New Holland tractor.
“I’ve learned there is a great sensitivity about the loyalties people have to different tractor brands,” Charvat said while eying the triumvirate of farm machinery.

Cheerful and optimistic farmers?  It's clear the man has never met me, but I'm sure a four year ag boom helps bring about the optimism.   Give us some time and we'll complain.  How's that joke about the prostitutes go?

Three hookers were talking.
The first one said "I had a Fireman last night".
The second one asked how she knew he was a
fireman, and the first one replied "I saw his badge."

The second hooker said "Well I had a policeman".
The first one asked how she knew he was a policeman.
The second hooker replied "I saw his gun."

The third hooker then joined in and said "Well I had a farmer last night".
The other two replied "How do you know he was a farmer"?
The third hooker replied
"First he said it cost too much,
then he said that it was too dry,
then he said it was too wet,
and when we were through he asked if I had any free hats!!"
