It was said, "Plus they have dictated to suppliers (farmers) the prices and its causing farmers to go bust." Not that I am pro wal mart, but I am going to take up for Wal mart and disagree with that statement. Saw article on TV 2 different times. One was about a pickle maker crying about the prices Wal Mart was giving him for his pickles. Well he shouldn't have contracted them for that price if he couldn't make money at that price. They interviewed a couple other pickle makers that declined Wal Marts offer on pickles and those pickle makers were still in good shape because they were selling their pickles at a price they could make a profit at. Another case was Snapper lawnmower. That company was bought out and when contract with Wal mart expired the new owners went to Wal Mart and told them that they had to have more money for their mowers. Wal mart wanted Snapper to make a cheaper mower that they could sell. Snapper said no way they were going to lower the quality of their mowers so Wal Mart could sell cheaper. You know Cub Cadet and John Deere both make a cheaper mower that sell through Lowes and others and those mowers aren't really John Deere or Cub Cadet. Thew are a cheap line with the John Deere or Cub Cadet name on them. So you see Wal Mart can't dictate a price for someone to sell their product. Wal Mart can tell a supplier what they will pay and it is up to the supplier to take it or leave it. So there are a lot of suppliers that won't take what Wal Mart is willing to give and that is the way it should be.

At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
