Combines Well I now have a R 62

Everyone that I talked to said the same thing,cost of production vs.price.Not wanting to lose any more before they retire.One farmer said that his long time bank called a loan in last week.

Riceman I have no clue has to what that head is worth. All those guys going to cotton,has anybody penciled the cost of production plus a freaking cotton picker.There is really no way to win.

I know. Who can spend $300,000 for a picker and then still have to get a boll buggy and builder.. But I've seen 12 row planters selling for $25,000 and up. Dang near new prices for these things and any ordinary Joe can buy rice stuff dirt cheap. Our rice acreage will go way down this year and most of the guys in my town are doing the same thing..

I live in North Dakota, USA, rom, work for a farmer that farms 12000 acres ready to say they heck with it, help is a problem with long hours big machinery 3 9400's with two 60 foot air seeders, other one has a 60 foot chisel plw cultivator, 2 895 versatiles with a 57 foot field cultivator and the other one has a 42 foot chisel plow cultivator, prices of fuel and anhydrous are nuts, have a 4720 sprayer, the man is a good farmer, but, he's about ready to through in the towel, farming just isn't any fun any more, scott.

are there any r-40's or 50's for sale out that way

No,I haven't seen one listed.But,that doesn't mean one hasn't been sold.
