[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 970458, member: 6543"] on the other hand there is an upside..... in our area we have quite a few startup farms that are managing to make a living on a relatively small acreage by producing for and appealing to the all natural crowd. most of them have one spouse who works off farm still, but they are surviving and growing. this is allowing folks to participate in agriculture as a profession rather than a sideline as I have done most of my life....Now I have worked in agriculture all my life and made a living providing products and services....and I was able to enter into a partnership with a neighbor that allowed us to have a locally well respected herd of Angus cattle....But that herd was a sideline and was done on nights and weekends and I could never have raised the capital to afford the land needed to do this on my own at a scale to support myself and family.....certainly not now when land around us is still valued at 20K per acre in this recession.
