Burrhead- we both know that yuppies don't farm, mostly what they do is play with their new toy. As far as all the bells buttons and bows on tractors, I've seen many a big spread farmer with tractors with a/c , heat,power steering and stereos in enclosed cabs. Machines costing $50000to $100000 are not unusual and I wouldn't call any of the boys in Indiana, Kansas or Iowa, Yuppies.
