[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 603850, member: 7645"] I don't think that we are in a position to really make that decision. We can't possibly know enough about YOUR 40 acres to know WHAT it will produce organically versus conventionally. "IF" you have the ability too direct market or have access to a supply channel that REALLY pays premiums for organicly grown beef you CAN get more money for the beef; BUT what level of production will you lose by going the organic route? There are some folks in West Texas that couldn't support 2 cows on 40 acres organically. The same 40 acres with heavy irrigation, chemical fertilizers, herbicides, ivomec, and store bought feeds could have 30 moma cows out there. Now I suspect both guys are losing MONEY, but part of that is just being a little guy in West Texas. This is something that has to be game planned in intimite detail and we just don't have enough site specific information to be able to go there. [/QUOTE]
