I am probably gonna get flamed, but I am one of those lowly "scrappers" who people call to clean their property up. We do about a farm a week. After a year or so I got to feeling like we were throwing away the past and rented a small ex used car lot and started setting the implements out for sale. We priced everything based upon weight. if the current price was 130 a ton at that time you could buy the pieces for 200 a ton. We had nothing but grief from the county, city, nasty buyers and people wanting to buy the "junk" for penny's on the dollar. Now I don't even bat an eye when the Items are crushed. If there were a stedy market for the old equiptment we wouldn't scrap a piece, but the folks who want it are to few and far between.
Right now with heavy shearing bringing over 240 a ton, we don't keep anything unless WE can use it. I have even gotten to the point that once it is in the trailer it cannot be bought. I ended up spending mass time and loosing money selling with indecisive people... Sorry to sound Bitter but this is a sore spot for me.
I had a gheil grinder with scale on the trailer that I had fooled with for over a month 4 diffrent buyers who all wanted it and backed out as I pulled into the yard 2 trucks pulled in behid me both wanting the grinder. I had a weight on it and offered it for double the scrap price about 300.00 at that time and when they started trying to talk me down I told them to talk to the yard caus it was sold. it was set off to the side for them to "Buy" when it was there a week later I asked the owner and he said it was for sale for 600.00
Maybee i am the problem, but even Junk has a value and it won't move it's self for free.
LAZY,,,,,, Have you ever loaded a wheeless combine on a trailer whole with a 8000 lb winch, a snatch block and pry bar?? I hardly call that lazy.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Corn in Southern Wisconsin: The Early Years - by Pat Browning. In this area of Wisconsin, most crops are raised to support livestock production or dairy herds in various forms. Corn products were harvested for grain, and for ensilage (we always just called it 'silage'). Silo Filling Time On dairy farms back in the 30's and into the first half of the 40's, making of corn silage was done with horses pulling a corn binder producing tied bundles of fresh, sweet-smelling corn plants, nice green leaves with ear; the
