Alot of the farmers I know still make large purchases with cash. It would not surprise me for someone to buy a tractor or such with cash.

BTW, it seems to me that the Gov't is conditioning people like yourself and many others to avoid using cash. It is our legal tender and there shouldn't be anything illegal or wrong with having lots of it.

Actually, you're wrong...and so is the government.

The US Constitution specifically says "No state shall make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts" (Article I sec 10). Gold was eliminated as a legal tender in 1933 and silver saw its last sunrise in 1970 (other than specialty items for collectors...but this isn't considered "tender").
