Fielders Choice seed went out of business. The salesman that I'd always dealt with sells for Specialty Seeds now. I called him this morning. $330 a bag for seed corn. Lowest he could get it with all the discounts was $268. The old order Mennonites have kind of a community of their own around here. A lot of their own businesses supplying inputs. I've got no problem dealing with them as much as I can. One of them started selling Masters Choice last year. They've been advertising that as a good choice for cattle feed. I just went and talked to him. He's talking $180 for conventional,$220 for Roundup Ready,and he doesn't even know about the availability of Roundup Ready. Said he'd check and give me a call.
I'm thinking for what it costs to grow corn anymore,seed,fertilizer,spray,maintanance on equipment,I'd be better off putting some money in to more fence,hold back some heifers and go all cow calf. Quit finishing them out. Just grow a little bit of silage corn for rotation on my alfalfa. I can't keep paying prices like this for inputs every year,not with increases like this. I don't know how much longer any of us can.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
