[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1296547, member: 1715"] Lots of retirement auctions selling worn out equipment this fall. Guys from 60 to 75 years old who were playing at crop farming. Repair shops are busy. Farmland is not selling. I had three neighbors stop in and asking me to buy or rent their ground this year. Talking heads saying its gone down 4 to 6% , but taxable value has not gone down. :???: Small family diaries are continuing to go out. Large dairy now is over 300 cows. Most of the cow calf guys were expanding, but a few now threatening to switch direction. I kept a lot more heifers this fall since the price is down. :cboy: One of the three large local grain guys collected prevent plant last year and seeded down almost all his acres for beef. I think the livestock guy can still back calculate to a profit as long as he did not pay too much to buy in. But even with 179 changes there will not be much spending up town. [/QUOTE]
