Yeah. Part of the plan is to buy tractor I can sell in five, ten, years and get back what I paid for it--if the family farm does come my way. That's a big IF I can't depend on or even plan for. In the mean time I'd have a tractor I could use. I see no future in row crop, commodity grains any time soon, so I'm gearing up for hay and straw only--two markets not yet manipulated by the government which still seem to be holding their own. If you run the math on soybeans, their gross income can't even pay the interest on a loan to buy land around here. Double the gross, and it still cannot. It's that bad. Why farmers keep growing something nobody wants is beyond me, but then, I'm not really a farmer.
I never really meant this thread to be about economy, but somehow that got brought up, so I rolled with it. (Maybe I brought it up, I don't remember.) You're right of course, fuel really isn't that big an expense overall.
"Forget about fuel and go play" is the best response I've heard here. Thanks!
