[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 458885, member: 391"] If you go into farming with money you can make money- problem is there are very few people wanting to farm/ and has the constitution to stay in it---- that also has already well lined pockets. AND other than a few exceptions theres better places to invest your already accumulated wealth to make more money- the returns on farming are not that impressive- unless you find a niche. But even niches can get flooded if theres too many other people that can do it too(pumpkins,christmas trees,even organics) USDA has done too good of a job- ensuring that there is a cheap source of food for our citizens- now they expect it. Go into farming with Debt and have it be your sole income to live off of- and it gets really difficult to make it thru the bad years-- and with farming there are ALWAYS going to be bad years. You remind me of the ostridge farmers 15 years ago-- it was a pyramid scam. You needed to be in at the top while the getting was good.There ended up being ALOT more people that lost money than those that made good money. Anything outside of the commercial market IS a pyramid scam. Are you sure you are at the Top of the Angus genetic improvement curve-- or are you sure that the lifeblood commercial market cannot be saturated before you make your killing. I believe the Angus market will level out(ie saturate) and become difficult to market outside the breed ring for big money . Another example are the Boer goat breeders- they are on the downsilde now and it only took 10 years to saturate the commercial market. Again lots more people lost money than made big money. It will take longer with the Angus- as there is a bigger commercial market available to flood- but its got a limit to its absorption too. No one is telling you not to give it a go if you want. Why get irritated at them for trying to tell you the potential pitfalls? You are obviously already well educated on the up side-- sounds like you have been given a great sales pitch - that alone ought to make you think twice. Ever hear- if it sounds too good to be true the odds are that it is? Theres a reason its well known. Get a good feel for your odds............. and realize that nature has a way of knocking profit out the window with even the best laid plans with Farming. Now on the up side-- theres always those lucky few that make a killing in pyramid scams- it could be you............. [/QUOTE]
