Wow, no wonder I am having a hard time!

I have a beef operation.

I have a farm manager and two farm hands, all full time. $125k all in labor expenses. Plus fertilizer, chemical, etc for another big chunk of change.

I have 150 cows, 9 bulls, 150 calves.

I raise alfalfa and a bit of wheat. Expect to sell $250k of alfalfa, $30k wheat, $150k for the calves when they are around 800 lbs.

I expect to be around break even I hope. First year coming to an end.


Do you have an off farm job?
