I don't like to see old equipment going to the scrap yard, but it is happening. The scrap yards are giving $6 per 100 pounds currently in this area. This is getting the scrap guys going to the auctions and buing anything that is going cheap. For example: there was an auction in Albers, IL last week. They had a lot of old equipment such as plows, discs, harrows, sickle mowers and other equipment that is not in high demand. A lot of the equipment was in good shape and went fairly cheap. I didn't buy any of it because I didn't need it. I went back the next day to pick up something that I did buy and noticed a huge dumpster there with most of the old machinery loaded inside. I checked around and found that a local junk man had bought the equipment for scrap. I can't see how he can make that much money off of it, but all that equipment will be a Toyota pretty soon. If the high scrap prices stay up, it's going to be getting hard to find some of this old equipment.
