[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1641705, member: 25884"] Yes, they will control things, and yes they have you by the ba//s.... if you are too vocal about some things they can and will cut you off at the knees.... but there are alot of good farmers that have them to help with the cash flow, and can get them paid off fairly well. The problem is that they will often "require you" to do upgrades or make changes right about the time they are paid off, so in essence you are at their mercy. But I know that several dairy farms would have gone out and probably lost their farm and land if they hadn't gone to the poultry houses. And one thing, you do get a break inbetween flocks.... broilers it was about 7-10 days, but now is up to 14-21 days... they layers are out for about a month. It's not perfect by any means.... but it has it's pluses too. [/QUOTE]
