Where did I say anything about not borrowing for land or a farm? Those are almost always long term investments that will likely pay off over time as investments and therefore do make sense to borrow.
Borrowing for tractors and equipment makes sense too if that is how you make your living. That said all tractors and equipment do nothing but depreciate. Yeas a JD 4020 sells for more now than it did new but $10K was a lot of money in the 1960's but that same $10K today is not all that much buying power due to devaluation of the dollar.
