You're right devin. Well over a mill in equip to get an operation going. Plus land and loans and kids.
One of my grandfathers was paid 16k pounds of tobacco to build the old nottoway courthouse. About 30 yrs ago they were moving and realized he'd never paid tax on it. My 3rd cousin that has deed to the original house almost got billed. Only was he got out of it was bc the fed, state, and county govs didn't exist when the payment was made haha
Yep. Last farm I heard for sale around here was $1.25 mil or so and it was under 300 acres. Add a good JD for $80k, a smaller JD for $45k, and all the attachments probably totaling $40k or so. Plus equipment storage, a shop, a filled diesel tank, crop storage, and you're getting up near $2 mil. And that's just a small farm. Then you'll spend a small fortune on seed, fertilizer, weed killer, and more fuel.

Yes we do Devin. Been in business since 1956 and still going strong. Has one of the largest screens in the country.

Very cool. If we had one around I might actually consider going to see a movie. My truck seats are surprisingly comfortable.

Yeah you read it right Devin. The throw from teh projector to the screen is 460'. Makes for a perfect picture. No cropping needed.

My cousins pediatrician in jersey owns one devin. Serves healthy snacks and stuff.

And yep. Bigger the farm the costs rise exponentially compared to the profits too. My friend that owns the commercial venture had three peterbilts in the shop in march. His response was "you have any idea how hard it is to get a cert. check for 190k"

Good morning VA! Not sure how much work I'll get done on the truck as my little man is being VERY clingy this morning. Hope he starts to feel better. I don't want to waste a good day for truck mods!
