        Why is growth so important? Why not being happy staying the same size? When we are looking at a crop faliure in a month's time without a rain new Machinery and $100 an acre rents are a big mistake. We aren't talking pennies we're talking millions in brand new Machinery that is not needed to farm.

          If a farm goes bankrupt beacuse of over spending that is a mistake in my eyes. Bad years happen in farming. Spending and borrowing pretending bad years won't happen is foolhardy.

            TBW.

            Sorry, bud, but it is only how you play the game.

            I know of addicted gamblers that never lose a cent on their addiction. They bet equal amounts both ways.

            Figure out how to offset high fuel prices, so it doesn't matter which way it goes.

              A gambling addict who doesn't lose is rare. I've known a few. They all lost. They just talk about the wins. They never talk about how much they lost.

                Gambling is a principle inherent in mankind. We gamble every day.

                  I farm and grow chickpeas and canola in the south. I'm a gambler as a farmer for sure.

                    Some large farms started with nothing..borrowed to the eye balls.if they loose it all...so what..never owned shit..but had a fun ride..
                    Careful spending insures a good retirement.i would hate to he old and broke..incase a person lives a long time?
