Prevention is the best medicine.
Here in MN, any machinery subject to freeze-thaw cycles gets a lot of condensation which can result in rust pretty quickly.
Fertilizer is also brutal on stuff.
Paint is the best.
In the absence of paint, or the ability to use paint on metal surfaces, a coating of oil sure beats early rustout. Usually, though, by the time you start hitting the thing with oil, the cancer has started.
Different measures for different situations. Most northern farmers machine sheds are probably technically waste dumps, but noone wants to open that can of worms.
