    And then did you all read the news today about OPEC trying to kill the competition by reducing crude oil again. It's $50/bbl right now and could go as low as $20 or even $10. Saudi Arabia said they could last for at least 2 years at those prices. If iron prices follow oil prices like I've been reading (someone must have done the research), then we're in for a drought. That grain bin I'm dismantling is light and hard to load and haul (I knew that). I only had 1.33 ton on today and got a whopping $66.50. I get half. I had made the committment long before the price went down so I feel obligated to finish the job. This particular bin is heavier guage steel and I can't bend it and fold it with my skidsteer like I prefer so there's alot of torching. There's 3 generations of old iron on that same farm and maybe if the price goes up someday and if they maybe want to get rid of it, I may be interested. Maybe !!!
