40 years ago there were at least 3 maybe 4 times more farmers than there are now.Most of them farmed 200 acres or less.The stuff people bought in those days was different than now because there were lots more stores that sold stuff to farmers.Since the farmers are gone,the store had to change to attract people to buy stuff.The part I dont like is that they dont have the farm stuff that they did,and the yuppie stuff will be gone too if somebody does it better.Somebody has to farm,so where do they get the stuff they need?The places are getting fewer and farther between.When you do find a place its usually high priced.I dont see what we need a farm type Wal Mart for,but the price of electricity,wages,and all that,they have to sell what they can I guess.Looks like if they had the farm stuff they might not sell as much as they did 40 years ago,but they would still sell some if they had it.Those were nice stores at first and lots of tractor parts were bought there when people mostly used smaller tractors.Now because they seem to think yuppies are rich,their prices are kinda high.Some things are still better than you find other places,like oil usually,but less stuff all the time is priced where you can afford it.If they run the people that held them up all these years off with high prices,the yuppies will get old and quit buying stuff,and there will not be any more stores,unless they can sell to younger people,or small farming comes back.

When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
