My dad bought a quarter in 1955 for 22 bucks an acre. Paid it off with ease in one crop. Not that I expect that now a days, but things have changed in this regard. Remember, their input costs were diddly. Fuel was 30 cents a gallon etc.

Even if it seemed like a lot at the time for a lot of these guys,  it was not near impossible to pay for in 30 or so years like it is now.

Is it progress? I dunno. 



Fuel was closer the $0.03 the $0.30 in 55

at least in 68' here it was $0.12
