In the current economy, some investors have taken to some pretty interesting ways of putting their money away for retirement or for a rainy day.
Some people have turned to buying gold, others speculate in the grain markets, and others are buying fine art or real estate.
Stan and Carolyn Heinze are buying, restoring, selling and collecting antique farm tractors. The Heinzes are a third-generation farm family located in Weld and Larimer counties of Colorado.
Heinze raises shell corn and sugar beets as well as irrigated wheat under the Colorado Wheat Research Foundation ConAgra Ultragrain Premium Program.
"Our private collection is primarily John Deere," Stan Heinze said. "We also carry Farmall, Case, Minneapolis Moline and Massey Harris tractors in the collection."
