Dave Neither of the real issues are money related other than the fact that I tried to help each of them out in a financial way.
The first kid sold his Grand Father's tractor. It was not a money issue. That tractor was priceless to me!!! That old man would be heart broken if he knew his grand son sold him out. He kept that tractor as a family heirloom. Be kind of like your wife selling her wedding ring because gold was up.
The second kid is going to miss out on his farming dream. I know what the BTO is going to cause in hardship to this kid. His land lord is going to blow up when he tries to have the BTO harvest his crop. He will end up in court. Not many will rent to him after this.
If I was worried about a profit in either deal I could have easily have made profit at several times in either deal.
