We see this in this farm/ranch area often, and I have been guilty myself.
Many times the car/truck, combine, whatever will still be running, but worn. Better is bought, the old will be parked in pasture. (might need it sometime). 20-50 yrs later, still there.
There's been tons and tons crushed the past few years since iron prices improved.
We do find interesting stuff sometimes and do our best to get them advertised and in peoples hands who can use them.
Old Folks will pass away, kids no longer care for the farm and don't live there, so will donate the "junk" to the museum if they will haul it away and they can sell the farm.

Long winded post, for sure, but a couple of us volunteers were talking a few days ago about this same thing. But just no way to save it all. So, in the crusher it goes. Kinda' sad. Museum gets all proceeds, tho, to help save a few.
