Money in Farming?

If you raise broilers and you rotate them through a garden, you should be fine.

Farmer2B, this thread is 5 years old!

I just read through the entire thread and didn't even look at the date! Oh well, lots of good information here anyway....

Five years old and still worth reading! We hope to earn enough $ to support our animal habit with a raspberry upick. I will also sell lambs but need to learn to be a better marketer for them. 12 lambs at $300 each....not too bad when all they cost me is hay some worming meds, and a shearer - which I could do myself.

I just watched a farm report show that stated that lambs for butchering are in short supply here in western Canada. It makes a person think about going into them.

A wise person speaks when they have something to say but a fool speaks just to say something

With the exception of, I think, 1986 my husbands Uncle made a living off of 150 acres and some cows.

He said this was possible because he had paid off the farm as a younger man when prices were better, and because he made his own fenceposts and pretty much everything else that he could.

So, he drove an old car and he made his own fence posts, but he ate out a few times a week. He was frugal, not poor, by making a living farming.
