In a previous message someone had said that it bugs them that a big farmer, who rents the small farmers ground, outbid the small farmer at an auction, where the small farmer was trying to buy equipment to farm his own ground again. Now this really doesnt make a lot of sence to me the small farmer is buying equipment, fert., chem., and what ever else to farm his 160 acres again.

I say more power to that big farmer. I would have done it also. As for taking it to the scrapyard, he paid for it so i guess he can do what he wants.
