Quoting Removed, click Modern View to see

Sure some made it through but many didn't. Lots of guys around us hauled milk in cans to the creamery in Urbank MN but the government shut that down in 83. Lot of the old guys who were small retired rather than go into debt by building the required milk house and buying the equipment. So effectively the government shut them down. Lot of em's kids were gone and no one to take over anyway. Lot of smaller guys here trying to farm now but most have to work off the farm to make it and the bankers here will not talk to you unless you can A. prove farm income on the positive side..... B. have the land to start with and C. be willing to start with at least 80 milking cows. Kinda makes it hard for a young person to get a start.

It's also bad enough that the bigger guys who are renting are getting a little mad at each other as they fight over land to rent (one rented a piece for about 10 years and never told the owner that rent had gone up got really mad when another guy told the owner what land rent was worth and the old guy refused to rent to the 10 year guy again). Funny thing is if the government would cancel CRP there would be a great deal of land available. I know of at least 500 acres within 3 miles of me that would available....maybe more.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
