The starter for their Mercedes powered machine was $2700. They did find a aftermarket and get it running. Ya, farming is easy and cheap.

It is interesting to note that despite the obvious short coming they still believe the make more money with no-till. Wouldn't it be wonderful if they could get through to never-till so they could obtain the real advantages?
Farmers are very conservative by nature. Not all, but most. Changing their way of doing things can happen, but they are usually approach any type of change with an initial degree skepticism, understandably so.

Her dad has had his own channel. Doesn't do nearly as well, iirc.

Ive known a lot of farm/ranch women who work as hard or harder than the men in the operation. The difference is that the ones I know look like female versions of most of the farmers. Weathered is a word that might work.
