April into early May a very busy time of year for farm auctions north of the border.

I’ve been seeing the same trends up there on used Tractors that I’ve been seeing down here in the states going back to November 2017…slightly older used models in real good condition are selling well. 3 more examples Friday (May 3, 2019) from the farm estate auction for Doug Franko in central Saskatchewan (Quill Lake, SK) on a sale by our friends at Bruce Schapansky Auctioneers (http://www.schapansky.com). Here’s the scoop:
