That's why 90% of farms are owned by Conglom-Ag isn't it? Seems to me
Farmer Brown can't afford all that big John Deere iron I see running out
in
farm country. That stuff must be *expensive*. They want $1,200 for a
li'l
ol' lawn mower.

There's an old(very old) joke they like to tell at the tractor pulls about
some city slicker getting stuck, waking up a farmer for a tow, then telling
the farmer 'now be careful you don't damage my $15,000 Cadillac". The farmer
responds "Well, you can be damn sure I'm not going to damage my $80,000
tractor"!
