[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1609758, member: 498"] Define a "family farm". I am surrounded by family farms who seem to be doing just fine. Before I retired I worked with a number of family farms. Can you make it milking 35 cows or running 50 beef cows? The answer is no. But there are a lot of families running 200 to 300 cows and doing just fine. I know people milking 200 with one employee. The majority of farms in this country are family operations. If they are incorporated it is for tax purposes. [/QUOTE]
