Market Farming

["Ploughshare" <gjbrever AT midwestinfo.net>]

A U of M study came out this week stating that the Median Minnesota farm income rose from $23,368 in 2001 to $105,431 last year (in 2006 it was $60k).  This is something like a a 75%increase in one year.    Dairies net income in our state have nearly doubled.  These are pretty incredible increases.  However,  I've also heard vegetable prices nation wide have gone up only about 20% this year(which is still a pretty good increase).  Any thoughts on how these trends are affecting your own vegetable operations?
