This may have been brouhgt up before but the amount of scrap being hauled in must be like the scrap drives of WW II. I work nights and almost every morning I meet a load or two of nice looking farm implements headed for scrap. I wish I had enough money to buy them. I'm afraid you won't be finding any two bottom trailer plows or discs in the fence rows any more. And forget about the corn pickers, they're going in first it seems. I know there's one local collector who's worked out a deal with the scrap man on tractors, but face it, at 175.00 a ton for cast he knows what he can get. It sure breaks my heart.

Boy, where are you guys at? I've got an old silage chopper and hay rake that I've been trying for months to get some scrap guy to just come and get them! Thought I had somebody, 'til I found out that he would haul away for free, but would charge me for cutting the stuff up into correct size pieces.

And yet we can send an aircraft carrier to the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico to the tune of 20 something million for a few fish to life in and even fewer skin divers to gawk at. But I guess maybe that's better than scrapping it for the Chinese to make bicycles out of. That's my first gripe of the day.

Look on the sunny side.Scrapping some of the old stuff will only make the surviving pieces all that much more valuable.

Yeah, it breaks my heart too but I can't save it all. I keep the good stuff but the common and worn out has to go.
