Some years ,farming isn't about how much you made. It is about how much you didn't loose. Low milk price is going to make it more difficult to keep writing with black ink for me but , I have been seeing low returns coming for well over two years and have been positioning our farm to be profitable with lower prices. We have replaced equipment in good years and paid down debt. Adding on to our barn will allow us to produce more milk in years to come but , is doing more work for the same money getting ahead ? I don't see this happening in the auto industry, and it sure don't happen with government employees . As well the whole time tighter and tighter rules around animal care and environmental stewardship are imposed upon us farmers , with no monetary gain to offset cost. Consumers demands do not always reflect profitable or realistic goals down on the farm. Yet radical voices of special interest groups continue to change the public opinion of farmers , and on farm practice . City folks seem to hold the view that it is some how wrong for farmers to make profit growing the food they need to eat.

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.
