Rural Rodney?

[meredith42.livejournal.com]

I've read quite a few stories where John knows his way around a farm and farming, ie..."Iowaverse?".  But what about Rodney?  Any hidden farming skills, growing up with relatives learning how to milk a cow?  some intuitive abilities with horses?  McShep or Gen preferred, but pretty much willing to read anything in this genre (except maybe McBeckett).  Any rating.  Hope this is right as this is my first post here.
