Enough of the planting advice; where do farmers get the money for inputs? To the editor: In most of our daily and weekly newspapers and most definitely in all of our farm papers, there has been tots of advice for farmers regarding planting for '93. Battle Imes have been drawn between short -season seed varieties, one pass tillage versus no -till, and the value of legume underseeding. With all of this advise however, one major 'question has not been addressed. Where is the farmer supposed tb get the money for the crop inputs for 1993? Many of our families lost money on last year's crops. Livestock did . not do well over the winter due to poor feed quality. Fall tillage wasn't finished while waiting to settle insurance claims and some crops are still standing. Spouse's off -farm jobs are barely making ends meet. With the season fast approaching many farm families would welcome advice on "planning for spring planting with no money". Everyday we help farm families survive the rural crisis.
