Who is in charge of the farm now? Why not use the old equipment.

There’s also the fact that a lot of the equipment being sold really has outlived its life span. Most of the implements are 40-50 years old or older. A couple pieces date to the early 1960s and you cant get parts for them. Even thru John Deere, which tells ya something as John Deere can get parts for like 98 percent of anything it ever made.
And the ones we can get parts for, by the time we do that, we’re at the cost of a brand new or slightly used one. Doesn’t make financial sense in those cases. But the other items like the tractors are the big ticket item that are inspiring the greed. I can tell ya the details of this greed, but not in a public setting, so I’ll leave it at this, had my grandfather lived just a week longer, none of them were to be in his updated will. He’d had a copy written up to write them out of the will completely due to their greed prior to his passing but hadn’t gotten in to sign it with the attorney.
