Any benefit to an older farmer if they finance a younger guy on their equipment?

i remember , not that long ago , adding water to over dry canola struggling to get to $5.25/bu

2005. My first crop. Thought I was rich!🤣

Not unless you’re trying to justify $150 rent.

That is about the only way

I start every year assuming the worst. We have been hailed out, drowned out, and frozen or snowed under often enough that I assume a complete write off is a probable outcome. I budget based on historical low commodity prices, regardless of what they are today. And I assume we could go a year or more with no crop income.[/QUOTE]

This reminds me of my neighbor and his son's differences.
The dad said he always underestimated what was in a bin/field and his son always overestimated. He said his son was often disappointed and mad and he was usually pleasantly surprised and happy. He liked his approach better.

You've got to be prepared for it all

The wind, the drought, the Rain, the gouging, the frost, and the snowfall !

The wind and the gouging seem to be getting worse.
