    New truck buying lesson wanted

    J&D I got the new Dodge at Country Dodge in Cassville, Mo. They were real good to deal with and I was happy with how they treated me. I got a new Cannonball bed on it and they took it to get that put on and I did not have to spend the time to take it there and go get it, myself. I have...

    New truck buying lesson wanted

    I did not want to go through the hassle of trying to sell my truck and have trouble collecting for it or have the buyer come back and complain about the problems, that is why I was looking for a decent trade. My truck was the 2006 1 ton extended cab Ford xlt diesel 6.0. I had not had many...

    New antibiotic rules for 2016

    Thanks for the replies and the clarification Lucky_P. The prices I quoted were for the 250 cc size bottle, so that might explain the difference in price. Here in fescue country, keeping a good mineral with CTC before the cattle from May-August will almost entirely eliminate fescue foot, foot...

    New antibiotic rules for 2016

    Lately, I have been hearing alot of talk about new 2016 rules for antibiotics that will make them much harder to get and alot more expensive for farmers to use on their cattle. A feed store owner told me today that he will have to stop selling medicated feed due to the increase in paperwork...

    New truck buying lesson wanted

    Thanks everyone for the tips and the advice. I will probably wait a little while and see if they have more pressure to deal a little later. I talked to Don Vance dealership today. He had about the 4th best offer I have had so far. I went to several dealers and got their best price on an...

    New truck buying lesson wanted

    For the first time in 12 years, I am thinking of buying a new truck. I have been to several dealers. All seem to be on the same page; Take 2k off the list and call it invoice, deduct rebates, 3-5k and that gets you to 5-7 off list price, whether the truck lists for 58k or 35k, magically...

    Who was a winner in the debate last night???????????

    There is the big disagreement as to whether a conservative republican can win the presidency, no question about that. One way to look at it is that we have the refusal to enforce laws on orders from Washington. We have the murder and persecution of Christians all over the world and the...

    UPS/Cashier's check question

    Thanks for your helpful replies, everyone. About 2 months ago, the UPS said they have declared it officially lost, paid my friend back his 39 dollars overnight shipping fee and said they have no more liability and to them it is a closed case. They said the last place it was tracked to was...

    In-Line Hay Trailer.

    Bigbull, I wish I could use one, but 70-72 inch diameter bales means about 13 feet wide, minimum, and even though a 40 footer would haul 20 bales, there is no way I could negotiate the county roads and the switchback curves, humpback hills and tight gates around here. Even with a 16 foot...

    In-Line Hay Trailer.

    I am not sure what the value of a side by side hay trailer would be. I guess there is a possibility that if someone has a flat 300 acre field and they want to bring all the hay to one corner. So, if you never get out of the field, then you wouldn't be breaking any laws. Any large round...

    In-Line Hay Trailer.

    I have the Red Rhino 36 foot trailer you described. I bought it 3 years ago, I called the office south of Oklahoma City, and they delivered it the 300 miles free of charge. I have used it for about 2,000 bales per year, plus everyone I know is always borrowing it, so it has been used alot. It...

    South of Monett, there are a few big fescue seed companies that have big warehouses they fill with seed every year. One is just south of Monett, one is between Purdy and Wheaton, they do alot of fescue seed harvest and then bale the stubble and feed out steers. I think one of the names is...

    UPS/Cashier's check question

    Yes, that contract is gone. My friend went to Oregon to visit his son and family the last 9 days. While there, he and his son went to a UPS main office and had no luck there, either. He keeps having people tell him to get a lawyer. I passed on the advice to contact the Missouri Attorney...

    UPS/Cashier's check question

    He has tried to get the bank to stop payment on the check. They will not. They say there is nothing they can do until the 90 day period is up. So, he is out the money for the 90 days unless the UPS finds the envelope. I do not know what will happen if someone cashes the check before the 90...

    UPS/Cashier's check question

    Today, they did tell him that after he files the claim and it goes through the process, they will still only be liable for the fee that it takes for the bank to replace the check, after the 91 days are up for him to put in a claim to the bank for the lost cashiers check. I thought it was a...
