[QUOTE="Hasbeen, post: 379766, member: 3220"] I'm going to give two examples and I would like some comments on each. We all understand there are many variables to each situation, but let's try just use general equations for our discussion. Example 1: A farmer has roughly 25 acres of pasture capable of supporting 12 cow/calf pairs and a bull. Must buy hay @ around $25.00 per roll. Feeds hay from Mid October thru mid March. Has all fences in place and in good repair. Example 2: Same farmer, same land. Roughly 20 acres is tillable. He decides to get rid of cattle and rotate planting corn and soybeans. Most soil is very sandy so will probably need heavy fertilization. Which example (or neither or combination) would bring in the most money? Is crop farming in sandy soil even an option. [/QUOTE]
