The deere post below got me wondering why we are loyal to cartain brands of tractors.
There are 2 nice dairy operations north of me, owned by the same family (cousins). One is completely red and one is completely green. They are both great farmers who do a good job. I was talking to one and kidding him if there was some sort of family fued in the past that caused them to have 2 different brands of tractors. What he told me was interesting.
