What happens here

The conversation shifts to the broader challenges of farming, including financial losses. Nick recounts two consecutive years of crop damage from 'the white combine' (hailstorms), with this year seeing three separate hail events that damaged approximately 90% of their farm. They also mention a three-year drought. The host highlights the high cost of farming equipment, with tractors costing three to four hundred thousand dollars each, and the current difficulty in sourcing parts due to supply chain issues. They also talk about their preference for red Case IH tractors and the fact that vehicles in Montana tend to be rust-free due to low humidity and minimal road salt, except for some body rust on vehicles that sit for extended periods.

Goal: The discussion covers broader challenges faced by farmers, including significant crop losses due to drought and hail, high equipment costs, and difficulties in acquiring parts, emphasizing the demanding nature of their work.
