Most of us on this forum grew up on farms. That farm was the central focus of our lives for everyone in the family until we left home. As kids, my brothers and I mostly played with toy farm equipment. My cousins who didn't live on farms played with toy cars, trucks, fire engines, air planes, ambulances, trains, buses, etc., things that we saw on TV but almost never saw up close on the farm or even in the nearby small towns.
The year 2100 is 84 years in the future, farm consolidation will likely continue or accelerate as farming becomes even more industrialized and impersonal. In rural areas today, Daddy is more likely to be employed on someone else's large farm than to own or rent his own farm. Rural populations will continue to drop as young and middle-aged people continue to leave the small isolated towns for better opportunities in the larger regional centers. Who knows, by the year 2100 a 3000 acre row crop farm and or a 1000 head cattle feedlot may only be small potatoes, a weekend hobby farm for wealthy guys who commute to a good paying day job in a nearby town 50 or 100 miles away.
Will today' new tractors or even the yesterdays tractors that we love today still be collectable in the year 2100? I really don't see any reasons why they would be.

After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
