MY OPINION - the economy is cyclic. What goes up, sooner or later must come down. The US has historically gone from boom to bust. We've been artificially kept in boom for many years. But even the artificial supports can't prevent the inevitable, they only delay it. Just as the stock market goes through "adjustments" (anybody remember the wreck Oct. of 2000?) the US economy is entering an adjustment period.
From what I've seen here, most of us on this forum are resilient and resourceful. People that work the land have to be tough. My parents and grandparents grew up hard, kicking and scratching. While I didn't have to grow up hard, I've got their attitude and their strengths. Same goes for James and his family. We will survive. That doesn't mean it will be pretty or that we won't suffer losses, but we will get through.
I am concerned for the changes coming. I don't know if they will be for the better. I suspect it will bring more government control of our lives and the only thing the government does well is take our money.
I am absolutely sure of this - my God is sufficient and He has promised that He will not put more on me than I can bear. I'm gonna make it and I'm gonna make sure James does, too.

It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
