Someone say fuel bill ? , Farm .. couple thousand gallon a year give or take ....plus heavy increase in fertilizer , net wrap , wrap plastic for wet hay ect ..but that ain't nothing .. Compared to the 7000gal fuel every couple weeks when the excavation company is running full-tilt ......4 dozers , 4 excavators, 2 scrapers , 2 skid steers, grader,..that fuels not including dump trucks & lowboys ..... Let's add hydraulic oil, engine oil ... Hell at least tire are getting cheaper .... Oops [bleep] WRONG....

LOL..
We lite off the dozier in WV yesterday...
400 gallons of fuel staged... that alone was $2k.
Pain is everywhere.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
I shudder at the thought of what the fuel bill will be at the farm I work for part-time.. They have a 10,000 fuel storage gallon tank - and when first-crop hay starts in about two weeks, there will be at least 10 tractors operating every day for 3.5 days. Chopper holds 300 gallons alone, so does the 535IH.. All in all, that'll be on average about 7,500 gallons per crop - not to mention the other machines (skid-steers, feeding tractor, etc) that operated daily..
Good thing milk is up to about $26-28/100wt....

That and more will be reflected at the grocery store near you.

Oh, and don't forget cutting edges, bucket teeth and and other ground engaging parts. I get sticker shock every time I pick up the phone to order parts.
I own a car and a truck. I put so few miles on them, I have to put Stable in the tanks and have them hooked up to battery chargers.

Both road tripping and beef have become luxuries in keeping with the Build Back Better/Green New Deal/Great Reset thatβs been going on the last several years.
We get our fuel delivered once a year in July. Our price for this past year was $5.20 a gallon for either gas or #1 diesel. I canβt wait to see what the price is after we get fuel delivered this summer.
I can't imagine that someone, somewhere along the line isn't making money on this even faster and in greater quantity than the government is printing it.
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
Off thread subject line but a root cause of it all... IMO...
Buckethead Central has been pulling the strings world wide since being granted most favored nation trade status in 2000 and then being allowed into the WTO.
They own the planet economically and we are their hostages... globalist, big business, and .govs seen the Benjamin's to be made and their share of power to be had. And Buckethead Central knew well ahead of time their plan for world power since before Nixons visit and normalized relationships began was going to succeed as they checked off the blocks in steps to attain it over the period of the 5 decades since.
We are Fuuuucked..... Meanwhile that Rail line going into Afghanistan from China is steadily being worked on towards completion. When the Bucketheads get afghan mineral and ore rocking and rolling over the next 10 to 20 yrs... We are fuuucked... They will build a world wide force projection military from those resources, gain even more economic dominance with those resources.
Didnt take long for Honk for Joey to bail. Hillary would have done the same if she was elected.
Benjamins to sell out your nations future.
Just like fuuuucking Iraq and the Bucketheads having oil exploration and production rights.
Aint heard as much as a peep out of either of those countries lately. Cause the Bucketheads dominate them with economic power now or economic power that is being developed....
