you are correct, today's iron prices have never been cheaper when compared to bushels of corn at today's prices.
Just took delivery on a new 460 hp JD tractor and it takes 20% less bu of corn to purchase based on today's prices than my new 300 hp JD tractor purchase in 1996 did in '96 corn prices.
I wish I could be re-born into a JD straight commissioned salesman.
Will the section 179 higher levels ever come back??
