Anything but green Haha
Which is actually sad, since I grew up with JD, and my first tractor of my own as an adult was Deere as well.
But the corporate dealers around me, have left me less than impressed
and the cost of them compared to competitors is almost silly

Our electric rates just went up 2.7%. I may get the vapors.

I’m curious about the alternative definitions of “ transitory” or at least the accepted duration

It’s not all about you. Other states went up a lot.
Mine went up 26.9%. I think thats significant-especially when my residence & small business electricity bill is over $1,000/month.

$1000/month!? You should put up a windmill and some solar panels.
Just kidding.

Interesting. I live in PA where electric suppliers have been deregulated. I shop for the best rates and am currently paying 10.2 cents per KW. I'm not sure where that 17.99 cent price came from.
I suppose it could be a local thing or an average of ALL suppliers in the state but when shopping, I have seen none that are even close to that published price.

Though my rural electric coop is discusing time of use rates and smart meters ( higher peak rates), mainly because they invested in alternative power that cost more to produce and they now need to pay for it a decade later.
This is being discussed internally in the coop and at one board meeting, the public is pretty much unaware of this though.

Tractor lots in general are full here (from Portland Oregon to Pendleton Oregon) about a 200 mile distance on the pavement.
I just can't decide if inflation is the cause of the tractor lots filling up.

I'm seeing more used farm equipment advertised for sale than last year. For one thing, I think people are more comfortable that covid isn't the threat that it was. I rarely see masks in the store now although a friend has covid right now.
I suspect the other thing is inflation is eating people's budgets so they are trying to sell off things they aren't using.
The dealers may or may not be in the classic trap of by the time you set your sails to catch the wind, the wind changes.
