[QUOTE="red angus 2010, post: 1384767, member: 14370"] 5,000 is a completely arbitrary number. My point is only the larger you are the possibility it will pay for itself quicker (or you lose money faster). This is my point we are a small operation in regards to row crop, good size in cattle when viewed against herd size on average in our state. There has been a big push that technology will save input cost, my father-in-law grew up during the depression, he still straightens nails. I have learned a great deal from him, we make due most of the time or build what we need. When we have looked at what it cost to move into this technology it doesn't pencil out. Our opinion is we are spending dollars to save dimes. Off subject but we switched seed companies this year, the new company has a customer loyalty program that blew me away. I'm not in this game but $80,000 in seed purchase and I got a new 4 wheeler. My son was showing this to me and asked me what I thought, my comment was if they can afford to give me things like that for an order the seed is overpriced. [/QUOTE]
