I guess that is where the thinking maybe needs to change. Most farmers I know really are not in the market for a 1960's self unloading wagon so they are not going to bid for something they do not want. The guy that might have a use or to just collect one usually does not have the spare cash for such a purchase. If you don't care where your equipment ends up once you are gone then I am not going to reach you. But if you are all gaga as to how good a piece of equipment your 1960's self unloading wagon is and would hate to see it scrapped then maybe we have something to talk about. Also, reread some of my response. Yes, the scrap man bought most of the equipment but he paid more than 4 cents per pound for it. He factored in the value of tires, wheels, jack stand, structural steel that he could quickly turn into cash at a higher value than dumping it into the wholesale scrap bin. But be sure that anything else on that mower-conditioner, forage wagon, whatever got cut into short steel. All I am saying that if it matters to you that your stuff not be cut up for scrap and has legitimate value and use then maybe do some planning now as to what will happen to it. Is it really a win as some would suggest that the lawyer collect on your lifetime of work when your stuff is sold. I know that it all can't be saved but I know I see stuff that is good enough to use or collect just go to be torn down in the end.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
