@AaronMartinka We farm beside a lot of ppl and houses and would never do something like that. Not even to a county road. Turn the spreader down or drop a windrow it’s very easy. I have zero interest in making the general public hate ag anymore than they already do.
@lathemfarms Just seeing this, I’m outside corpus. Can be on the beach in 45 min. Those central Texas ppl have no idea what south is. We are the tippy top of what I consider STX
@lathemfarms We replaced our fallow masters with rollacones in 2020 have been extremely happy and everything is adjustable. Paint looks great still. They stay in a barn tho. I know you west Texas guys don’t believe in those🤣
Farmer w/ no successor wants to help a young guy get started.
Sell him the land for $8K/acre.
Sell him the equipment on installments.
Keep the farm alive.
But the IRS steps in:
→ $1,200/acre in capital gains tax
→ Full depreciation recapture due immediately
The federal tax code does the opposite of rewarding the farmer for helping the next gen.
Maybe these hair-brained ideas could help?
