Some of those huge companies sure must have nice houses, and new trucks 
I can see them wanting to make a profit, just like anyone else. But your right, billions is a tad too much.

sure they're big companies and all and a guy wouldn't mind seeing a couple of mill as their profit, afterall they could have large unexpected expenses, but hey, on a different scale, we all could... that doesn't make it cool for me to bend people over all day.

I know, theres a huge difference between making a nice profit and "giving it to people and not supplying the lube".
I noticed the price of gas dropped to 131 in a few places, could this be the start of it?

I saw some report on the electrical infrastructure a few days ago - they claim there is no chance of powering enough chargers to power electric cars if the trend takes place to replace fossil fueled vehicles with rechargrable electric!
I just hope the price of fuel drops back. Lately is been barrel price divided by 100 to get litre price. (eg) $140 barrel - $1.40/litre. Just hope the $85 barrel they are predicting takes the pumps back the the 85 cent mark!

Yeah i can only imagine for you. By the sounds of your operation, you have a few hefty sized tractors too, and they sure arent good on fuel.
We have a 8650 JD 4 wheel drive, and its turned up abit, and man she goes through the fuel. On the plus side, theres nothing my dad and I havent been able to pull with it.

Our CaseIH 9390 will burn 20 gallons per hour if its working hard (its 425 hp stock set up by Cummins to be at 465 hp). However it will work 40 acres per hour so the per acre cost isnt that bad because of how much its doing.
We handle big numbers but cant seem to keep our hands on any of that cash - just a vicious recirculating program!
