A disgruntled farmer spreads the word

Tweet

We saw this sign on a farmer’s gate on our way to Beacon in Western Australia. On the way home, we stopped to get a photo of it. We felt really sorry for the farmer. He is obviously very upset about his Case tractor. These cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and to have it out of operation would be a huge blow. We wondered if he had managed to get any crop sown and even if he had had to give up his farmer. Most farmers borrow heavily for machinery, not to mention the cost of seed and fertiliser. If they don’t get a good return on their crop, then they can be in huge financial difficulties. I don’t know if the ‘For Sale’ sign is for the tractor or for the farm. I hope things turn out okay for him. Edit: Can't load the photo at the moment. I'll try again later.
