I want to know everybodys opinion on it.I might be getting a farm soon so i want to know what makes and what dosent.HELP!!!
thanks! I hope you make money anyways!lolfrustratedearthmother said:I wish I could tell you how I make my farm money....but if you're talking about PROFIT, there is none. Of course, I'm not a full-time farmer. I do raise goats and sell a few each year. I even sell a few dozen eggs, and a few chicks here and there. I do what I do because that's how I choose to live my life. It makes me happy to know where my food comes from. It makes me happy to be able to grow it and preserve it and to enjoy it. I guess if I did it full-time and really promoted what I do I might bring in some extra income, but I don't think I could ever make a living at it. I wish you well.
good for you! thats basically what i want to do!just a tiny bit more profit.lolFarmerJamie said:If you're taking about profit, buy low and sell high.
There are so many variables, there is no easy answer. It's all about what you put into it.
I agree with FEM, if I sell enough eggs to cover the feed and supplies I use AND still have enough eggs for us, I consider that profitable for me. Won't be able to retire on it, though.
I raise my own food for my family as much as I can, that good enough for me.
