Title: Re: [Market-farming] Profit per acre
Wouldn't the average profit per acre be driven by several widely
variable drivers as economy of scale, methods of distribution,
marketing factors, etc.
and many many more factors. Isn't the price of wholesale
honey up three times over last year's price because the Chinese honey
was pulled off of the market because illegal antibiotics were found
and someone in the government actually stopped it from coming into
this country? Who could have predicted that?
and speaking of vegetables, think about the methods of
growing. The large mechanized vegetable operation is sure not
going to produce as many vegetables per acre as the competent,
retired, energetic home gardener who doesn't have to worry about
getting a tractor into his field. Any figures you get on profit
per acre are going to be much like today's forecast of the weather a
month from today. 'Most likely it will be colder here in Virginia,
but it might not on that specific day. And whether it will be
raining or snowing or a beautiful sunny day is just about anyone's
guess.'
