[QUOTE="598, post: 16321797, member: 71706"] I advise farmers for a living. Each circumstance stands on its own as far as the decision making process of growing, changing, or shrinking a farm. Regional and local differences as close as 10 miles apart affect marketing and growing decisions. I have a friend that wants to start farming right now, with a horticulture degree and a successful landscaping business. And most importantly, a strong work ethic. I have yet to find a scale opportunity for him to break in, without betting everything he has worked his life up to this point for. Even on my largest farms, (8-9000 acres) we are constantly discussing if we need to be moving up or down in production, and every year, what will we produce next year. I am working on certain ideas for next years production pricing as we speak, with this years crop not even all in the bin. One simple line I always have my clients ask themselves, is this decision going to help me more, or just make me a glorified employee of the landlord with some silly bragging rights at the coffee shop. If you are coming into farming with little to no experience, you will be an employee, whether you realize it or not. [/QUOTE]
