Pete’s Note: “This one goes back too far in our www.MachineryPete.com auction price archives for a picture of it, but I do recall this particular auction vividly. Note the date…December 7, 2007…right when the ETHANOL rocket ship was taking off. Auction Sale Prices immediately also rocketed higher. This auction in Paris, IL on 12/7/07 was by great folks at Moss Auction Team. I recall auctioneer Matt Moss emailing me the evening of this auction. He relayed how the overwhelming excitement of the incredibly HOT bidding caused the farmer who was retiring whose sale it was…to be overcome with tears…of Joy and Happiness…to see such bidding interest and action on his equipment. That day, just over 17 Years ago now, was in fact the very day I began to sense a very real changing of the connotations around the term “Farm Auction”…now beyond what that term meant back in the meat grinder brutal days of the 1980’s…now the phrase “Farm Auction” beginning to become instead something wholly different…a true celebration of a farming career on its final day…now tears of Joy vs tears of sadness decades ago in the 1980’s.”
