hey nice 4490 also, so is the 4994 going to be the new manure tractor? i hear that the tractors that pull them tanks really can wear on them same with scrapers is that true? im sure that case will pull that thing good. when my dad bought our 4494 it used to pull a tank

Wow that is really awesome good luck to you and your future ranch! That is a great idea to use your degree to fall back on.

haha yeah im really glad i chose to do community college first. no my family doesnt personally, but i have a bunch of relatives that do up in colorado. My relatives in colorado were my inspiration and they have taught me alot of what I know today, but then it was kind of my dream at the same time. Yeah I have, once i get my degree I plan to start a cattle ranch. haha thats alright i dont mind. How about you, what are your plans for your Agribusiness Degree?

I am a freshmen right now too, I am starting out at Chandler Gilbert Community College to get my basic classes out of the way, then I am transferring to ASU Polytechnic to finish my degree.

Wow. i was actually considering Penn State and im up here right now. I went up and talked to the dean of ag. but i decided the college was to big for me. Coincidentally im planning to go into international agribusiness too. Im pretty much set on going to murray state in ky though.
