[QUOTE="Busterz, post: 573094, member: 7999"] Those numbers (the 5 yr avg return) varied quite a bit within the one state (Minnesota). I also wonder if the costs are higher there due to the harsher and longer winters. The cow numbers required sounded a little high to me. But it doesn't change the notion that operations will continue to get bigger. I don't think it will totally run all of the small farms out though but the small farms will have to find a different set of economics to operate under than the larger traditional operations. Niche farming or producing animals or crops worth more than the traditional commodity open market. Don't quit your day job. [/QUOTE]
