Martinsville, Ohio

I think they are in a different mindset, cashflow people. We are cashflow people too but conservative. I bought a new subcompact on zero percent interest, they buy a combine. I cannot understand them either but multiply you operation by 10 or 100 percent and you have them. They run the rent rates up but thankfully it is still a free county here.

Like you I keep running the old stuff and try to keep it maintained. The new machinery is not that much fancier in my mind, we don't want to pay the dollars and they will.

I guess they keep the big wheel turning.
