I've never been called that, but I guess I am. I scout and sample fields, make chemical and fertilizer recommendations, and sell the product. I am paid to sell product, not consult.

back in the day? What, like last Friday?

The change started in the mid-90's but SarBox finished it. I have a friend whose father owned a fertilizer dealership in the early 80's. His dad took him to the Indiana Plant Food Association meeting one year. They were hanging out in a hospitality room one evening when two VERY attractive (OT 8.7) women in their mid-20's came over and started talking to him. He was working the best game on them a 17 year old kid can; and it was working.

This goes on for a while until his dad grabs his arm and says, "We're leaving." He says, "But Dad, I'd like to hang around for a while." Dad says NO and drags him out of there. He realized years later those women were prostitutes hired to work the crowd by whomever was paying for the hospitality room.
