Like alot of people on this board, I have been lurking and reading all of the posts to increase my knowledge on farming. One item that I have noticed is that there are not alot of messages around natural / organic beef. Is there a reason that experienced farmers are not doing the natural / organic thing?
I'm in the process of buying a farm that has been in my family for two generations. It is roughly 400 acres, 5 ponds, lots of fence, cattle, equipment. etc. etc. My family is currently running it with conventional cattle. Living in the city the past few years has opened my eyes to the natural / organic market and I'm thinking that when I move home to take over the farm, I would like to move it in that direction. Has anyone on the board done something like this and did it pay off? I did do a search on all of message boards for natural / organic beef but there were only a few messages.
Thanks in advance for your responses.
