I considered it for a couple of reasons. One is that there is a bio diesel plant only about 5 miles from me that sells it there too. Another is the idiots at the local coop want me to fill out a credit ap and a life's history to be able to buy farm diesel. I don't see that happening. They consider me a small farmer so they make us jump through hoops the 5000 acre and up farmers don't. I'll just remember that the next time their spray rig breaks down in front of my house though. <br>

Anyway, I decided against it because it costs a few cents more than regular pump diesel here. Also the comptroller probably won't approve our tax free status on it. She's never heard of it before and I don't want to confuse her. I learned a long time ago never to confuse the tax people.

I have sortof a coop with my neighbors. I have a new tractor and each fall I do all the plowing now. In return one of my neighbors loans me his baler and swather whenever I need it. Between the three of us on this road we have everything we need. It works out really nice. Just a couple weeks ago I finally broke down and bought a new tractor so now it looks like I'm doing all the haying work myself too and they are buying about half the hay off my property and paying my gas to work theirs. I plan on buying my own discbine from new holland in the spring before I bale my alfalfa again and eventually my own baler but I got the new tractor first and made sure it was big enough to handle everything I need. I only have 25 acres here myself but I have 100 more somewhere else and work a total of 150 acres with it counting the neighbors. It's nice to have the cab and AC on this new one. An old minnie 4 star was my main tractor till about 2 weeks ago.
