Market Farming

Farm auctions, too, Liz.  We have bought a of of good equipment at auction.  BUT, you have to know about the equipment - what wear to look for - and not get caught up in the bidding frenzy.  In fall/winter, after the growing season, is a good time to start looking, but there are some auctions year-round.

Subject: [Market-farming] Farm Equipment

Well, it looks like I'll be moving to Kentucky, to a new farm.  I'll be
thrilled to get back to farming, but I'll still shoe on the side. 
Anyway, question is we need to find a loan for financing farm equipment.
What do y'all recommend?? This farm is 68 acres & we have someone who'll
bale hay for us until we get settled. But in the meantime we still need
a tractor!!  Where to start??
