I'm not an expert in Ag economics, but I would think for most applications, 20 acres does not provide enough economies of scale to make money. Some of us just like to grow stuff and play with equipment in our dotage.
We don't know they were trying to make any $$$.I'm not an expert in Ag economics, but I would think for most applications, 20 acres does not provide enough economies of scale to make money. Some of us just like to grow stuff and play with equipment in our dotage.
My family members seem to. One owns a condo in Hawaii for the off season.. Seems many who operate larger farm can make it pay.Farms make money?
I used to work for a business that had a string tied to a nail and ran over and behind some filing cabinets. No big deal but we no one was allowed to touch that string. Odd, I thought, but the people that worked there were kind of strange so it so it was OK.Every good running, profitable farm I know of (including mine) has a fifth of Captain Morgan spiced rum next to the coffee pot in the shop. Beats creamer hands down.
