I'd Like To See Farm Net Worth

Because I’ve heard lots of different points of view on the extremes. Once upon a time, journalists would write about this but that’s not happening anymore.

There are a lot of Amish where I live. They’re as true a farmer as I could come up with. In the last 30 years I’ve lived among them, I’ve never seen one doing poorly. In fact, in my neck of the woods they’re buying up properties and expanding their range. So based on this observation, I’d say farming is a lucrative business for those who know what they’re doing.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
