I don’t think I understand. Why should anyone be made to feel like they are obligated to help a young farmer start into business. If it is your own child, then it would be expected you will help your own. But in a earlier thread there were comments made about no one willing to help young people starting out. I don’t get it !! I started my own farm, got a minimum of help from my dad, as he really didn’t want me to farm. Sure I got plenty of advice from neighbors, but where the rubber hit the road, I had to pay market value for things I bought, or help I hired. I have heard this line from fellas that think that someone who owns land should rent to them for less, and take a loss just because they are looking for a sweet deal, so they can make more profit. Farming is business. It’s my business , my risk , my loss or my profit. And if I want to help my son into the business, that is my choice. But if my kids don’t want to farm, why should I be made to feel guilty if I don’t help some other young person start , the whole while , taking a heavy financial loss to do so?? Yes I understand how tough it is for young farmers to get established, I was one once too, but I worked two jobs for a while to save cash, and went without the finer things in life to achieve long term goals. That’s life for those that have nothing. No point in trying to lay guilt trips on older folks that want full value for rent, or sale price for their farm, maybe they too had to make many sacrifices in their lives to get and hang on to what they have now. Ok flame me for being evil.... Bruce

Today's Featured Article - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
