The prize fighters will get another shot. They have to ....someone lent them the money in the first place?

Would look bad for the lending CSR...NO?

Banks are getting spooked with op credit not revolving. Guys are being told to clean in up.

New prize fighters born everyday they can send the old ones to the glue factory.

Harsh, but true.

Old Nag out.

Interesting. Talked to a local salesman today, he can’t keep up with the demand for 30-40 hp estate tractors for the local winery folks. And every time he sells one he has to fill out the paperwork so they can get $1000 cash back from the government for promoting tourism. Which isn’t bad on a $35,000 tractor considering many of these people only use the “farm” for a write off anyway, but now taxpayers are paying for part of their lawn mowing

Has anyone heard all this before. Most of the prize fighters in our area will be around for quite awhile yet.

I have to side with grefer. Plenty of farmers describe their woes then others in the circle contribute. This is how they measure up the neighbors/competition. A cup of coffee or a few beeers are inexpensive insight.

My FCC rep told me that all of her farm accounts are current. This is a good sign. I cant argue with it.

Most of the more serious pain around here is the self-inflicted type from guys who bought into the “$7 corn is the new normal” talk and either forgot or never knew that the prices we have right now are still pretty decent historically. Now they’re starting to realize why folks shook their heads at taking on $70-80/acre (or more) in new paint payments

Pretty solid area here in the Slum of the Ghetto....

But I did say "some, who are on the ropes".... but some old Golden Glove heavy hitting Pros are just waiting to mop up the blood.... LOL. KEEP YOUR GUARD UP.

Huh. At one time this game used to be about providing for ones family. Not "mopping" up the pieces of someone else's misfortune to expand your own fortune.

Trust me, I won't shed many tears for those who have flapped their gums around town, but many who have simply tried to do the right thing are going to get caught up in this mess. Dear God I hope It's not me.

If it Is, it'll be entirely beyond my control... personal expenses are BARE BONES, equipment is paid for, vehicles and house(If you call a mobile home that) are paid for, but every acre is rented because purchasing it is completely beyond my means, and I'm paying on some bins because every acre comes complete with 0 bushels of storage. I've tried to play within the rules as beat I can. I sure hope the outwardly appearing well healed neighbors aren't secretly waiting to "mop up."
