@CRNAfarmer2 @DanAllred1 Bought 36 good condition meters for $3 on an online auction a couple years ago. Had a few row command clutches in that lot that made me back about 10x the purchase price

Played a little game of tetris is today. Gotta say a skid steer is a game changer when it comes to moving equipment in and out of a building. Along with a second person and cell phones

@todd_venning @gwiesefarms @Tedthekelpie Yeah you can do whatever you want with them. Only exception would be a certified wetland with the usda. You could still take them out or drain it but you would forfeit any future eligibility in govt programs

How to buy farms with less cash. As completed finance. You purchase 80 acres of combination ground for $400,000. 68 of those acres are dry land while the balance made up of trees, roads and waste. You plan to clean up the trees and be able to farm 77 acres. You also will be able to irrigate this property for next year, greatly increasing the value. Improvements will cost you around $80,000. Once the improvements are complete, the property will be worth $700,000. You could coordinate with your lender to have an ‘as completed’ appraisal done and finance 65% of the final value of the property ($700,000). ◦The math: $400,000 purchase plus $80,000 of improvements equals $480,000. $700,000 value after improvements X 65% = $455,000. This transaction now only needs $25,000 out of pocket to be completed.

Why is being a larger farm somehow bad? Why do other farmers seem to relish in their supposed failures? We have enough outside pressure on our industry that we don’t need to be this dysfunctional internally also… #RegularFarmer #My2Cents

@gwiesefarms @kowalchukfarms1 Except when the 1031 money is coming from govt funded tech infrastructure development. Hard to say that’s not unfair…

Large farms seem to be hated because they have the ability to buy up all the ground at a higher price than smaller farmers can afford. They are seen as having an unfair advantage. Often times, the large farmers are making this purchase through a 1031 exchange, letting more marginal or far away ground go to help support the new, high purchase price. So no, not an unfair advantage. They are using business planning, tax strategies, and knowledge of how money works to get ahead. Something everyone can do.

Disagree with 3/4 of this.. Yes 10-15 year old tractors are surprisingly firm, but they're affordable to many. There are plenty of newer high dollar machines out there, just jockeys sitting on a lot of them fake "selling" at auction. Why do you think there's huge discrepancies in values?? Worst time in history to value machines by auction results

@erschwenke @mmimick Floor heat, spray foam, and good windows and doors are a must to make it feel like a house. Floors are hard compared to wood frame but tile everything and it’s easy to clean and floor heat transfers well

Has anyone built a barndominium instead of a stick frame house and been happy with it? We need more room and would like to get on the farm. I hadn’t really considered anything other than stick built but maybe I should.

@AaronBobeck @agbell10 From what I could tell, a fair bit… now how much goes right back on the market, I have no idea. It seemed to be going nearly all over the US honestly.

I spent much of today following along with an equipment auction in the background and mercy have things fallen off. How quickly we went from the equipment scarcity and markups of 2021-2022 to today is insane.
