Kinda along, please bear with me. I have an aunt and uncle who have a farm near me. The uncle passed away about three years ago and for years they had rented the farm land to K. K is a good kid with a new wife and child just starting out. I didn't mind that. Three years ago milk price went down and K had trouble making the rent. Neighbor P heard about this went over to my aunt's and made a deal to rent him the 20 acres near me in spite of the fact that I had told them years ago that I would rent anything for the going rate that K did not want. They were upset with P for tearing up the waterways. I told my I would be more than happy to rent this for the going rate already last fall.P went in late last fall and chisel plowed the field. This spring he used it as an excuse to get his foot in the door and now has the land rented for three more years. Ever since my uncle passed away, we have been helping out up there to keep things going. We took down a bunch of trees along the machine shed, put a new roof on a milk house, and do a lot of cutting of firewood. In fact I cut about 75% of their firewood for them. This year my cousin needs a new axle installed in the 350, a new furnace installed, several big trees cut out of the yard, and a fence line cleared. Normally would have no problem helping him out with this, but now that they've rented this land out to P for another three years, when he needs help I'm considering telling them to just go and see P. I am upset because I feel that I'm only good enough when they need some help, and when they've got some land to rent out and someone could make some money on it they just ignore me and rented to someone else. Am I being thin-skinned to be upset about this or do I have a legitimate gripe??

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen. Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
