Try cycling the key on for 5 seconds, then off, then on for 5 seconds a couple of times before cranking it. If the fuel is REALLY draining back, this will force fuel through the system and it should start right up as the fuel pump is turned on for a few seconds each time the key is switched to "ON".
If the pump is weak, this will not help. The pump needs to maintain full pressure (IIRC about 50PSI) even during the cranking process or the injectors won't "pop" and no fuel will be injected = harder and harder to start.
Replace the pump before it fails and leaves you stranded on the road.
You can get an AC Delco or Bosch pump for HALF the dealer price at RockAuto.com. and perhaps save a little on the installation if you shop around (or do it yourself).
You didn't give us a clue as to what engine it has, if it has the vortec 4.3 with the goofy "octopus" central fuel injection module hidden INSIDE the intake manifold that can cause flooding/fuel leakdown/hard start problems as well.

The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
