Near-north Ontario, French River | I think a lot of us in AG have lost touch with the none ag community, as much as they have lost touch with us. For an average farmer that my have a cash flow in the 100's of thousands or even millions a year, a $2000 credit card balance really is chump change. But to someone make 50K a year with a lunch box job that's represents ' a lot' of money. Not saying that folks in both groups couldn't maybe improve their spending habits, but to compare the two groups is apple and oranges. I mean many of us regularly cash grain cheques that are several times the total income of most folks.
