I think it was more to do with him being 6' tall and occasionally having to go clambering around inside grain elevators to collect samples. He used to hate harvest time, he'd be away at 6 in the morning, collecting grain samples all morning, separate sample for each field harvested, they'd be picked up mid afternoon and taken to the lab to be tested for moisture content, protein etc. It would be early evening before the company's buyer analysed the results and had a bid price for each sample/field which he'd pass to my father who'd then be on the phone negotiating with farmers til 10 or 11 at night.
