[AT] Lancaster Farming ads

[Mike Sloane]

Thanks, Charlie. Unfortunately, Lancaster Farming is about $40/year, and 
one of the reasons I keep subscribing is for the Mailbox Markets ads. 
The Lancaster area is about 2+ hours from here, so it was relatively 
easy for me to get to sellers and pick up tractors, parts, and 
implements. I have since sold my trailer and replaced the F350 dump 
truck I was using to pull it. I guess my "collecting" days are pretty 
much over for now (unless something really special comes along). I have 
more than enough tractors for my needs and more than enough projects on 
the list to keep me busy for the next several years.  As for 
advertising, the paper is in 4 to 5 thick sections and about as thick as 
your Sunday paper and chock full of ads from front to back. So I don't 
think they are hurting for subscribers or advertisers.

I also receive that monthly newspaper from the Alabama Co-op, although I 
have no recollection of ever asking for it.
