From a purely business standpoint this is not always the case. Often the cost of the equipment and manpower required to produce certain parts could be more cheaply produced if the equipment were being used on a full time basis, this may exceed the amounts you need. A similar thing I have run across recently,... A large farm was cut into 10 acre "farmettes". It doesn't make financial sense to purchase hay making equipment to hay just 10 acres. The large farmer next door sells these farmers the hay that they need for the winter. Caroline [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
