[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7798789, member: 718"] It is only a vicious circle because they don't do something about it. The fact that farm enterprises that have survived so far and are thriving tend to be ever bigger and more efficient shows that many generations of farmers have done and are doing something about it, if only when they are forced to by age or a family that throws in the towel. Otherwise they change their management and actually make it pay. Far too many are stuck in a rut where they can't pay their bills on time and constantly worry about their financial situation without actually doing something proactive about it. You really can't tell from the outside which these businesses are but their creditors have a better clue than most, believe me. Every farm [and other] business has different circumstances and the size of the boy's toys is certainly not a good indication of a viable business. [/QUOTE]
