Anler Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 City farm, year round consistent yields. No seasonal pricing, shitty product due to drought, bugs, disease, etc...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted April 23, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 23, 2018 Govt subsidies hold prices down so guys pile on the nitrogen. Up to a point about a pound or unit of nitrogen per bushel. Heard a guy on the radio the other day in Virginia got over 500 bushel/acre using over 500 lbs/acre of nitrogen. And don't shit yourself its not just "factory farms." https://www.dtnpf.com/agriculture/web/ag/news/crops/article/2017/12/19/hula-sets-new-world-corn-yield-542 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until people come to terms with getting over cheap food is bad for society status quo will reign. With population growth and other areas we spend money on it seems like a huge uphill battle. Conventional farming will be around as long as we eat meat. My lifetime is covered. Neal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely that would happen at a factory chicken operation. 3-4 chickens in the back yard aren't causing an epidemic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens but in the confinement operations its easy to control. Happened just a few years ago in Iowa. They destroyed millions and millions of birds.

Neal Depends on the definition of small and large. https://www.ers.usda.gov/amber-waves/2017/march/large-family-farms-continue-to-dominate-us-agricultural-production/ Family farms play a dominant role in U.S. agriculture. In 2015, these farms accounted for 99 percent of U.S. farms and 89 percent of production. On family farms, the principal operators and their relatives (by blood or marriage) own more than half of the business’s assets—in short, a family owns and operates the farm. In 2015, 90 percent of U.S. farms were small family operations with under $350,000 in annual gross cash farm income (GCFI)—a measure of revenue that includes sales of crops and livestock, Government payments, and other farm-related income. These small farms, however, only accounted for 24 percent of the value of production. By comparison, large-scale family farms with at least $1 million in GCFI made up only 2.9 percent of U.S. farms but contributed 42 percent of total production. Nonfamily farms accounted for only 11 percent of agricultural production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
