    Prayers for your Grandpa, you and your family. With Father’s Day fast approaching I want to say you are invaluable to your Dad. Ya’ll work great together and he seems to be a patient, caring Father. Like Grant, I love cultivating. I miss being on a farm so much, bailing was really cool when we bailed the smaller bails and neighbors would come and help and the ladies would fix the lunch for everyone and we would all help out all of our neighbors with their bailing and whatever they needed help with. That Denali truck looks so fine. If you would have had that truck before you got married and passed by Grant’s house blowing the horn and waving, he would have chased you on foot to the end of the world, or until you stopped or ran out of gas. LOL 😂 😂😂👏👍🙏✌️😎.

    I’m glad y’all adjusted that fork lift. The first way y’all were lifting was binding it and since the forks weren’t tilted back far enough, it was pushing the bind toward the person working on it. I know it was still mounted on the tractor, but the tilted forks were putting it in a bind…raising it w a chain was wayyyyy smarter…y’all are some problem solvers!

    • @LtColDaddy71

      We do two things fairly consistently. Get into debt, then hopefully get out of debt. We’re very conservative personally.
      My rule is maintain 50% equity on land. It will appear that we have more, because we shake up our debt structure consistently and shift as much of it over to equipment and infrastructure as possible. The IRS considers payments on appreciating land assets as unqualified for deducting from taxable income, but depreciating asset payments can be subtracted.
      I don’t believe in debt on equipment otherwise. I started with 30 plus year old plus units, and saved for 20 yrs to get a new shop, grain system, and get all my work horses newer than 5 yrs old. With the exception of a few chore tractors. I add that debt into my land equity calculation.
      Once I’m at 75% equity, it’s time to go shopping. I’m pulling out some equity. The land I’m buying is going to have value, so right now I’d be in the market for 600 acres. I always rent ground equal to what we own, so that would be 1200 acres of total growth. We’re 5 years away from that move.
      Why rent 1 acre for every owned acre? It used to be because I didn’t own much, and needed to average a $1000 / land payment, which a farm can’t realistically cover, with a much lower rent, in today’s numbers, about $250. A farm can sustain $625 if you do it right.
      Now it’s more about staying scaleable / modular. I can drop 1500 acres next year if the zombie apocalypse happened. I’ve never dropped an acre yet, and it would be heart breaking to do so, considering the conversion to organic process we go through.
      Sorry for rambling. You seemed genuinely interested.
