Would have been about $5,000 to haul offsite and I couldn't burn.Last week planted to Oats which I will harvest or shred late this summer. 

Paint them pink or green or purple or all three.

If I am a Dave Ramsey fan, I am tickled pink about being included and thus fill out the survey.  

If you have loss-position assets (ie stocks, bonds, etc..) talk to your CPA to see if the year of deemed sale will be a good time to sell the other assets and thus harvest the losses.

Otherwise you're one pink slip away from a tsunami sized disaster.

Otherwise, you might just buy from him in stages over time...Does he have any other capital investments that he can tax loss harvest?

@Alex BoulgerWell, this is where the classic tax answer of "it depends" comes into play.This could be a good opportunity for loss harvesting, if you have underperforming assets in your portfolio. 

I pay the power company to harvest it and have the tiny chipmunks run electric acorns through the power lines or however that works, so that when I flip a switch it's there.

depends on the asset like the SS i funded for him is a profit share.. the little pink houses in the mid west I have my set fees and it usually if you look at share of profit becomes a 80/20 to 60/40  in favor of my client..

A shrewd business owner looking at the opportunity to buy on a 6.25% interest loan when the prevailing rate is 7.25% may gladly bring 25% down and be tickled pink here.
