    God Bless this farmer. We thank all farmers for feeding us and our animals so well. This will work out, just not today. How much does it cost to rent a combine? City people don’t know these things.

    That’s sad. Feel bad for the farmer. What does one of those cost? Google says $100,000 used to $1 million plus new?
