Because as soon as we get a nice one from the east coast it gets bought back and is lost again. Oh well. I did get to see some nice Parker's in North Carolina.

Kansas is actually west not east of the Mississippi. By about 250 miles.

I'm saving up to buy me some of that hay!

Aw Bruce,Don't hand me that crap. I just sent a nice B grade to your friend in Missouri....:rolleyes:

maybe it was supposed to be a surprise

I know, we should be content to get your culls. Oh happy day! :)

:rotf:

Bruce, as I am sure you are aware, your poor turnip farmer is haying with equipment that costs more than an A1 Special. His bailer would easily cover the price of a nice 28 gauge V or maybe a G. Farming has gotten more expensive since the day my dad bought a new Minneapolis Moline ZB tractor for $1,800--in 1956. Of course back then you could have purchased a 20 gauge CHE from A & F for around $300.

OK, Here is an example of what you speak of, Prices are unbelievable, Gary

And the hay is sold. Oh happy happy day!

Now if only the turnips produce, there may be a Parker in the future.

Guns may seem inexpensive for the time, but everything is relative.
