    For the same reason the oil patch guys who were making mega bucks had to give up there houses and fancy trucks..

      Consolidation, consolidation, consolidation. Suspect any profits made were sunk into iron and rent.

        I still say something is up I would say extra credit is gone. Costs up so you work around. Next spring could be ugly.

          Money is tight because EVERYTHING is way over priced. Addiction to iron and max inputs just don’t work when crops and prices end up Avg at worst. We need a fix on this big shotitis mentality. Land price and rent are ridiculous and until guys lose out for a couple years the stupidity will continue. Some of these young guys don’t have a clue about hard times. If u were young helping on the farm in the eighties u understood the fine line between winning and losing. Like most things as time moves on a lot forget about the past or never experienced it so it becomes the new norm. Then Bam the holy F#@$ moment hits and they’re like what do we do? Don’t wish it on anyone but the bigger is better mentality is way out of hand. For some it is just never enuf.

            It might not work for everyone, but since going liquid, I haven't had one problem.
