Thank you all!

One more thought is... you can't save yourself to prosperity, but you can't spend money freely either. Like I've said earlier I've bought equipment we needed on our whole farm because dad hasn't consistently been updating. We are smart "in our opinion" about what we've bought and paid for. Everything I've bought was to save us money.

42' fallowmaster (paid off) instead of our 28'
Strip till (paid off) rig to try and stop sand blowing
Ag leader display (1/3 paid off) to be able to do vrt through strip till
Bought and re-buit a 60 ft pull type sprayer (paid off) to save application costs.
Bought enough catitle to be 50/50 ownership in out herd. (All but this year's 20 head paid off)

Just irritating how much capital it takes to start and even maintain the ever changing demands of a farm.

Again thank you

I feel like everything was smart and not wasteful, but
