Grease must be expensive if its easier to buy new iron every year. I like to look out the window and see paid for equipment in the yard.

You know what they say............easy come easy go.

I'd rather have paid for equipment too.

But other people aren't into whats right, more so, what's popular.

So sort of like into fashion and not so much into function?

Just because people have nice equipment doesn't mean it's not paid for.

Very little of it is, but I'm saying just because people have new equipment doesn't mean none of its paid for. We run most (only older things are 2 of our silage/manure/clay/grain trucks) new equipment and don't owe a dime on any of it.

We run very nice clean equipment and only a portion of it is fairly new. We don't owe a dime on it either. I'm not saying everybody with new equipment is living on borrowed time. But you and I both know the majority of them are.

There is alot of "keeping up with the Jones" in farming today. Especially in our County.

Guys were pretty much ready to start field work before this last storm. Looks like the waiting game again now. Lol.

I was out through milo today. Glad I'm not pulling a seed drill up and down those hills.

Yeah we know how to work a tractor in these parts. Keeps things interesting, especially in a wet year. Lol.

We just started to have some black dirt and stubble poke through the snow on Monday in our area. Still lots of melting to go yet. Maybe early to mid-May this year? Glad we don't have thousands of acres to do like some guys - hope for a late frost in the fall I guess...

Well boys, here in MB, we wont be on the land for another 2-3 weeks and will be longer in some areas with more snow and areas prone to flooding. all fields still are covered with anywhere from 6" - 24"+ of snow. Gonna be one hell of a year! Some producers are swaping out soybeans for canola and wheat.

I feel for you guys and the farmers in parts of Saskatchewan who may not seed acres this spring.
