  1. Hedging your bets?

    People been doing it for 1000s of years. A few decades ago it was failing dairies getting into other stock. Reality is, you cannot turn things on a dime. Jyst because its a bad year for corn, doesnt mean you should go all in on soybeans next year. Smart farmers are already "diversified" as...

    If you have money, and think buying otherwiswe undevelopable land to lease to hunters is a good investment - I have a great investment opportunity for you.

  5. Pole barn, brick or what?

    Pro/con to both. Block, obviously sturdier - brick is more attractive to most, keeps out rodents who might otherwise burrow under a pole building metal. Traditional pole - cheaper, easier and quicker build - easier to remove/add on to if the need arises (adaptable) Around here - pole...
  6. Buying from auction

    As mentioned - know the sellers or auction house conducting the sale. Knowing either will give you a good idea of the quality of their wares. Good auctioneers dont sell to poor quality sellers - they have their regulars and wont risk chasing them off for 10% of a low grade sale 1 time. Amish...

  10. Upgrade or update...my pickup truck debate

    So, heres the debate. I have a 2012 Silverado 1500. Ultra low miles, was my old mans truck and passed down when he passed a few years ago. Its paid off, clean as new (still has some plastic on dash) and if course holds sentimental value. It also is as basic as you can get (w/t edition),2WD...
  11. Chainsaws - whats your brand of choice/fave model

  12. HelloFresh, Every Plate

    Not a fan. As this is "FarmChat" lets be honest...their target audience "young, affluent, city dweller, single/couple with little time on their hands but wants fresh" probably is not a high percentage of the members here. Kinda like going on a knitting forum and asking opinions on a Harley...

  14. Dewalt, Rigid, Craftsman - what?

    All the same quality wise...as most are made by same workers on different production lines/days with minor changes in design and common components like motors. If DeWalt is comfortable to you, go with it. Price is secondary if its what YOU like. Im partial to Makita and Dewalt stuff...but...
  15. Are Pittsburgh Tools Any Good

    Not sure I get the question fully...as Pittsburgh hand tools ARE HF tools. Pittsburgh is just one of HF store brands. Guessing you mean as compared to their "non branded" junk they sell for a few bucks...then offer Pittsburgh for 10-15 dollars for example. Absolutely move up to Pittsburgh...

  17. How Much To Paint A Truck

    What quality do you expect, looking to do just a base coat or looking to go with something special? An "Earl Scheib Special" guestimate is 1500 to 2500. Materials you would be at 500 or so. Doing some pearlized special paint, materials alone could be 5500 or so. High grade auto paints arent...
  18. Fixing a cracked beak?

    FYI - duct tape is a generic name for the bright or dull silver foil tape used in HVAC. I see people argue all the rime depending on what region they are from on which is "correct" Duck tape is a registered trademark for WATERPROOF (emphasis added) tape originally developed by Johnson and...
  19. Local 4H wants to come to farm

    Let me start with - whats the downside? Its 4H - not a kindergarten class. Yes, there will be young kids and livestock. There will also be adults who have experience around livestock presumably (after all, they are involved in 4H and presumably were in it when younger). As long as there is a...
  20. Why Are Snap On Tools So Expensive

    Some of column a...a little of column b and ALOT of column c in my opinion. What advertising though...whens the last radio/tv ad you saw SnapOn run? Its just word of mouth, payment plans and techs thinking $$ equals better quality. They let us build them up in our minds..sort of like high...
