Having had my own auction a couple of years ago, my suggestion to you would be, that unless you have a lot of small items, try to sell things on your own. If you have a lot of eqt, then for certain an auction is a good thing. The trouble is, unless you are extremely lucky, your eqt will likely go for pennies on the dollar. Some of the collector tractors may do very well, but combines and such will probably suffer. Again, you never know.
You will be amazed at what the advertising alone costs if it is done correctly. And then figure in the auctioneers cut, and all the hassle with the sale itself, plus getting everything out of where the auction is. It's a pain in the rear, but certainly can be done. Then the taxes...!
I would suggest, as some below have said, to keep your 25 acres and grow hay. I rented my ground, but kept some for some hay. I use it myself, but still have plenty to sell.
As far as the mid week auction, I have been to some and have NEVER noticed the crowd size to be small. Nor have I ever noticed everything to be "given away" during a week day auction. However, times are not great for an auction at this time regardless of the day. However, good luck with what ever you decide. Bob

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
