I like to read your posts. Like you I have turned my farms into crops because making hay was to hard and their is no reliable market for your crop. I have been at it for a few years and have had several combines. My latest is a John Deere that I bought 3 years ago because it had rear wheel assist which comes in handy when we have to much rain during harvest time.
Like you I put a lot of money into repairs the first year that I owned it but after that I have not had any serious problems. I would advise you to look for a better corn head now after the harvest is nearly over for the year. I do not know if you have a flex head for your machine but I believe that you will need one as you should plant soybeans for a better crop rotation. Now is the best time to look for one of those.
I read where you indicated that the drought caused the corn yield to be low and I have had the same experience this year. It looks like I will only break even this time but in most years I make a little money and I enjoy my farming so I will continue to plod along. I do not farm for a living but it keeps me out of the bars.
My wife is my helper and I sometimes say things that I regret but she can take care of herself and gives it right back to me. Keep farming your land and may you and your wife keep enjoying being together. Happy farming.
