Everyone always comments the cost of new equipment is getting out of hand etc.
How much was a big combine or 150 hp + tractor in 1980. Then factor in the value of a dollar then and now.
A $100,000 was a lot of cash in 1980 now it doesn't buy a very big tractor anymore. I suppose one would have to factor in grain prices and yeilds of then and now too.
