I was hoping this was more like 1984.  In our area I think we saw land and machinery moving a little better in 1984 then it had in the previous 2 or 3 years. In 1984 a lot of guys thought the bad years where over and they really hadn't started.  In 1985 and 1986 it crashed hard and fast. Everyone says this isn't the 80's but 1980 through 1984 where not that terrible until 1985 and after in our area.
