Most of us on this forum grew up on farms. That farm was the central focus of our lives for everyone in the family until we left home. As kids, my brothers and I mostly played with toy farm equipment. My cousins who didn't live on farms played with toy cars, trucks, fire engines, air planes, ambulances, trains, buses, etc., things that we saw on TV but almost never saw up close on the farm or even in the nearby small towns.
The year 2100 is 84 years in the future, farm consolidation will likely continue or accelerate as farming becomes even more industrialized and impersonal. In rural areas today, Daddy is more likely to be employed on someone else's large farm than to own or rent his own farm. Rural populations will continue to drop as young and middle-aged people continue to leave the small isolated towns for better opportunities in the larger regional centers. Who knows, by the year 2100 a 3000 acre row crop farm and or a 1000 head cattle feedlot may only be small potatoes, a weekend hobby farm for wealthy guys who commute to a good paying day job in a nearby town 50 or 100 miles away.
Will today' new tractors or even the yesterdays tractors that we love today still be collectable in the year 2100? I really don't see any reasons why they would be.

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.
