Leasing will be the demise of many farms if it hasn't already as one can get talked into something worth more than the job you really need it for.

Totally agree with that. I love how guys brag about the lease only being X per acre. Let's talk about it in square feet than you clowns. That way it sounds cheaper.

Agreed....

Which is why we look at it as an investment and one we aren't attached to.

Bought a MF 4900 last year for 8K... Trading up to a quadtrack CIH for 30 and change...

That's basically a new tractor for the cost of 1 year of payments... We can wrench on everything here... so not necessarily need new.


Same thing with these yahoos hauling grain. Got a 2007 Western Star that we picked up for a steal, and a set of 35K grain trailers. They go up and down the road as good as the brand new shiny iron, but we can afford to park the thing for a month or 3 if there's no work.

I think this is why we see these 15 unit or more equipment swaps

The farms that are doing this have no debt and 10 million in the bank at all times.

The world will never end for them.
