Had some relatives that took a wrong turn, can appreciate your story and your message. They got things made right again, and move forward. I hear you on deals like that.
Stamp, Boersen, McM, Illinois Family Farms, they all seem to have the disease of needing to expand for their own ego.
When you get to running 30-90,000 acres and your business can't make it in some of the better years of farming......meanwhile a lot of farm families are displaced by your actions....
It's just hard to feel sorry for them. And to not have some bitterness their way.
The McM fella had a story not long ago, how the two brothers went from rags to riches back to rags, and how sad.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. 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
