"Christmas List"


Now that the Harvest is over Iowa Tractor Boys sometimes engage in Window Shopping and some even begin the process of acquiring new equipment to replace aging machinery. This is an older model John Deere Combine with a grain header. Most Combines also need a "Corn Header" so that all crops can be harvested.
A quick check of the John Deere Web Site for the newest models of Combines quickly reveal that you can easily spend over $300,000.00 for the basic Combine. Then you must select the header/headers you need for your operation.
While we city dwellers fret over the annual commercials featuring the Grey Lexus with high sticker prices with the Red Bow on top, we would do well to realize that the real luxury vehicles are used to provide us all with our daily bread.

As we participate in "Thanksgiving Dinner" with our respective Families we should also be grateful for all the "Farm Boys" who provide the resources that we enjoy with such abundance here in the United States of America.

Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!!!!
