To quote you:

"I'm in farming to make money....plain and simple. Maybe those John Deeres just make us so much more than your AC's we just don't care how much they cost.....Or maybe they make us so much more we DO care how much they cost...That's why we buy'em..."

Maybe if more people used better judgement and did care about the value they got for there dollar, there would still be a lot more full time farmers around. Every year I see people spending money they can ill afford to spend and the next thing you know they've had to take a job off the farm to get by. That is a real shame because on the other hand I see a few farmers with good management skills growing and growing and growing. I've got a neighbor who bought 80 acres about 10 years ago. He worked hard and made wise purchases and investments and this spring he planted about 800 acres, I think he owns between 200 and 300 of that, the rest belongs to guys who tried but couldn't make a go of it themselves. He's farming with Case and Ford equipment from the 70's.
