No offense meant, but since when are you not allowed to set the price for your product? As far as I know, you're welcome to put a sign at the end of your driveway that says "Corn: $10/bushel" and sell all of it you want. In fact, I think your granddaughters are doing just that, and good for them and you,
The fact that you or any other farmer chooses to keep farming in spite of what you argue are intolerable business practices tells me that things are a little better than you let on, and I am sick unto death of that "feed the world" and "let's see how they like it when food triples in price" excuse for why farmers shouldn't have to play by the same rules as everyone else, be they workplace safety, child labor, or environmental rules. If it's a moral imperative to feed the hungry, should you really expect payment? Do you expect payment for not killing someone, or for not stealing from them?

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
