[QUOTE="johndeerefarmer, post: 1155839, member: 2084"] The hay producers are getting old just like the beef producers. Most figure it's easier to run a few cows than kill yourself driving 10 hours a day on a tractor and having to fix the equipment in the middle of a hay field with no shade and 100 degree temp. We need more young people in this business just like we need younger machinists. Not only are beef prices high from guys selling out because of the drought but a lot of the older ones will not be getting back into the business- at least they went out on a bang. When I got my first $1.00 lb for a 500# steer I thought we were in high cotton, now that I am seeing $1100 for a steer I am still amazed. [/QUOTE]
