Exactly, you hit the nail on the head. Do you want to work your butt off (and I mean 18-hour days non stop!) or sit back and collect $2500/acre indefinitely. Plus if you have lots of empty unusable land it’s a far easier calculation. Work what you can and also gain extra income from the rest.
We do mixed vegetable production and poultry (layers) plus smaller quantities honey and maple syrup. Lots of specialty items and good wholesome business to upscale restaurants.
Our land is not ‘tillable’ either- we are on class 3 ‘poor’ soil that is low lying (wet) and almost pure clay. By using permanent no-till beds we have completely changed the makeup and productivity in just 4 seasons. We are heading into our 5th season now.
