What exactly is "farmering"?  In the desert, farmering is a term used to describe a means and methodology of performing repairs using the tools and materials at hand.  And I mean exactly at hand.  If you are faced with a situation where something in front of you needs a good bashing, but your hammer is back in the bed of the truck, well, you just give it a good bashing with the wrench you are holding.  When farmering, aesthetics are not even of secondary consideration, they are of absolutely no consideration.
