I don't know Gary.......personally.........from Adam's off ox; however, I do "know" him in the sense that I know most farmers.....at least in North America. If he says it, I believe it, opposite compelling evidence to the contrary. Folks who've never made their living from tilling the earth cannot understand, although........because their Grand-dad was a farmer..........and they used to steer his 8N around, they think they do. There used to be a lot of places who would make operating loans to farmers; banks, Production Credit, insurance companies, cotton gins, suppliers of chemicals and fertlizers, etc. When I made my first on-my-on/stand-by-myself-alone crop, I went to the bank and asked for a $75,000 line of credit. I had managed to scrape together a couple of old tractors, an old combine, an old bob-truck and enough equipment to put a crop into the ground.
The bank took a lien on the equipment and the crop and within an hour, I was good-to-go. Those days are gone; now-a-days, you list everything you own in the world and the lender takes a lien; everything you've accumulated over a lifetime is at risk every single year. Based on the content of their posts, I dare say you can count the number of FARMERS who post on these boards on both hands. We've all seen pictures of Gary's house, barns, equipment, etc and "know" who he is; how about some pictures of your operation and some explanation of where you live, your lifestyle/life experiences/work history??????

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945. The British government still reeling from the effects of the war on the economy, approached the Nuffield organization to see if they would design and build an "ALL NEW" British built wheeled tractor, suitable for both British and world farming. ...
