True of course but money is much easier to come by now,its all sort of relative. Saw a good 160 acre bottom land farm planted all in alfalfa sell for $180,000 a three or four months ago, so bargains are out there. I'm not trying to discourage him in any way. Its simply that farming is changing,very fast. So many new rules and regulations that even the folks who put them into effect have trouble explaining them. my point is this, if your just starting out in farming today,work from a position of security. It seems like farmers these days are on the top of the hit list right behind the terrorists and bp,you better not stick your neck out too far.I know how much land sells for and i know how much it rents for,but its hard to fault a guy whos paying that $8000 an acre for renting his land to the highest bidder also, if you see what i mean.That 8000 an acre is exactly why i suggest talking to the bankers and the loan companies,they know whos going to default and you can often step in,make a real deal and help out everyone involved. Nows the time to buy, if you can,its not the time to go far into debt for sure. Its probably not the best time to start farming,but things dont seem to be looking better for the future either.when you start paying the farm inputs nowdays and try to make a living ,you better have you ducks in a row, I'm getting out myself too old and too tired.I can feed a few old cows and work far less.

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
