from: http://jsonline.com Racine - There's an adage: To be successful, a lure must first hook a fisherman. And it doesn't end at the first catch. Some of the most alluring tackle keeps on hooking - collectors, that is - for as long as 150 years or more. One of the most sought after lure series was made before the Civil War. That's a testament to the lasting power of sharp steel. And well-carved wood. And exquisitely tied deer hair. "I can't say what a fish feels, but I know I find some lures irresistible," said John Collen of Racine, an avid fishing tackle collector for the last 25 years. Southeastern Wisconsin will again be ground zero in the Midwest for lure collectors when the Great Milwaukee Classic, the regional show of the National Fishing Lure Collectors Club, comes to Brookfield on Jan. 16 and 17. The 2009 classic will be the 28th annual local show for the group. |

Regional Editor - The Country Today WILTON - Auctioneer Robert Brandau can pick out cattle he sold years after they passed through his sale barn. "Once you see 'em, you always see 'em," he said last week at his kitchen table. After 58 years in the auction business, Brandau, 79, has seen a lot of cattle. He loves selling livestock, and in 2009 his Kendall sale barn will mark its 40th anniversary. As a teenager, Brandau went to cattle sales for his father, who was in the livestock business. He watched the auctioneers. "I thought I could do as well as they could," he said. |

Growers looking to replace farm machinery are faced with the decision to trade it in or sell-and-buy. Bill Edwards, Iowa State University Economist, suggests trading if a taxable loss will result. “Sell and buy if a gain will result and you are in a low tax bracket,” he directs.
Most producers replace major pieces of machinery by trading them in to a dealer in exchange for a newer model. The cash difference paid to trade n the “boot” n varies with the trade-in value, the new equipment’s list price and how much of a discount the dealer is willing to give. Trade-ins are also generally more convenient than having to try and sell the old equipment outright. |
