[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 807436, member: 391"] Assets 2 chicken houses Recieving barn working barn Hay barn Water lines 3 miles 8 frost free drinkers Fences(miles and miles) Three miles of roads 6 feed pens ,bunks,concrete pads Two huge silage pits with concrete floor Generator shed and huge generator(requirement) Chicken composter(requirement) Stack shed (requirement) 4 complete retrofits on 10 year old chicken houses(requirement) Commodity barn All were either something I had to do or loose my chicken contract. Or I calculated how I could save or make money by spending money (I'm good with a pencil). The situation I based those decisions on either changed or disappeared, and irritatingly enough just after I got the projects done more often than was funny . diversification was part of my problem-- I choose Chicken houses and built them at the perfect time to loose money. Up side I did have chicken manure for the pastures that I now miss. If I ever sell out- it will be because of market pressures- if there are market pressures on me there will be market pressures on everyone that might be interested in buying my assets- there will be no market for them and the place will be bought at firesale prices or with the intention of bull dozing the land clear. I have seen it with the chicken farms around here- they counted on building equity in the houses and ended up with none. Cattle around here were built on the back of chicken manure- with that gone the interest in a cattle farm is gone too. [/QUOTE]
