I don’t think I understand. Why should anyone be made to feel like they are obligated to help a young farmer start into business. If it is your own child, then it would be expected you will help your own. But in a earlier thread there were comments made about no one willing to help young people starting out. I don’t get it !! I started my own farm, got a minimum of help from my dad, as he really didn’t want me to farm. Sure I got plenty of advice from neighbors, but where the rubber hit the road, I had to pay market value for things I bought, or help I hired. I have heard this line from fellas that think that someone who owns land should rent to them for less, and take a loss just because they are looking for a sweet deal, so they can make more profit. Farming is business. It’s my business , my risk , my loss or my profit. And if I want to help my son into the business, that is my choice. But if my kids don’t want to farm, why should I be made to feel guilty if I don’t help some other young person start , the whole while , taking a heavy financial loss to do so?? Yes I understand how tough it is for young farmers to get established, I was one once too, but I worked two jobs for a while to save cash, and went without the finer things in life to achieve long term goals. That’s life for those that have nothing. No point in trying to lay guilt trips on older folks that want full value for rent, or sale price for their farm, maybe they too had to make many sacrifices in their lives to get and hang on to what they have now. Ok flame me for being evil.... Bruce

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.
