By Diego Flammini, Farms.com
Christmas is just over two weeks away and the rush to find the perfect gifts for everyone on your list will undoubtedly intensify.
Add to all that mayhem, trying to buy for a farmer, who no matter how hard you press, will say they have everything and need nothing.
Here’s a list of some items that are sure to make any farmer smile on Christmas morning.
| Item | Price | Specifics |
|---|
| Farm-Opoly | $29.99 on Amazon | Enjoy the intensity of regular Monopoly with an agricultural twist. Build and sell red barns, but be sure not to end up in “Drought”. |
| Long Range Wi-Fi Router | Varies | Keep connected almost anywhere on the farm. Some routers suggest they can have a Wi-Fi signal up to two miles away from the wired connection. |
| Personalized Aerial Hometown Puzzle | $49.95 on Catalogfavorites.com | Keep them occupied with a 400-piece puzzle of their own farm. |
| Magazine Subscription | Varies | Keep them informed about the most important issues in agriculture with a magazine most suited to their environment and interests. |
| Agricultural Tour | Varies | AgriTours Canada has plenty of 2015 tours listed and would make a great gift to mingle with other farmers from different parts of Canada and agtoursusa.com does the same for the United States. |

| Solar-Powered Radio | Varies | Nothing makes the day go by like some great music in the background. A radio powered by the sun is a great way to enjoy music and help the environment. |
| Wireless Meat Thermometer | Varies | Farmers spend countless hours feeding and caring for the animals so when they make it to the table, it’s the best tasting meat yet. Using one of these will ensure the meats are cooked to the favourite temperatures to be enjoyed by all. |
| Precision Ag Conference Registration | Varies by region | Attending conferences during the winter months is a great way for Farmers to learn information quickly on new topics and techniques in agriculture. In Ontario, the Farms.com team is holding the precision ag conference in February, early bird registration is only $100.00. |
Some of these items might not fit under a Christmas tree, but there’s probably room for them in the life of a farmer.
