I don't know where you live, but there are not many loser farmers around here. I remember going to a marketing outlook meeting a couple years ago. I looked around the room while everyone was eating their free lunches. I realized that there where probably more multimillionaires in that room then you would find at a city country club. Hell, a small farmer with 240 acres is worth over a million in land alone. Even a small farmer's equipment line is probably worth more than most people's houses. Do they act or look like they are worth a dime, No. Are their houses or outbuildings missing a little paint, probably. Are their pickups 15 to 20 years old, maybe. Do they have a rusty old tractor sitting around, likely. A city boy shows up with a little cash in whatever kind of pickup, trying to steal his old tractor, does the old farmer know what's going on? You bet he does. That old tractor has been on the farm for 40 years. Chances are real good it will stay right there. I can't believe how many people sterotype the old farmer! A lot of them could buy and sell most city boys many times over. There are plenty of tractors advertised for sale. Leave the old farmer alone. If he wants to sell something, he knows how to do it.

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
