Ok, I've officially been reading agriculture stuff

You know, I'd read literature...

And it would talk about $1 here per acre, fifty cents there per head, etc...

Figuring out depreciation, insurance, etc...

It must be sinking in slowly, as I'm buying a '92 Volvo 240 sedan as a 'beater' to commute day-to-day to reduce the mileage on my truck (I put 36,000 a year on it, 24,000 of that is commuting...have a five year loan and a 100,000 mile warranty so you do the math :) )

And I've managed to create a whole spreadsheet that not only looks at the savings in gas from better mileage...to monthly costs like insurance, taxes, registration, etc.

(By the way, based on operating expenses, it'll come out somewhere between costing me $0.60 more a month to saving me $50 depending on what assumptions you make about mileage and gas prices!)

Oy, I've been reading up on the business side of farmin' too much!
