Get Rich in Farming?



According to Lord Google:

▪️To net $150,000 a year from a dairy farm, you generally need between 120 and 750 milk cows, depending heavily on your net profit per cow, region, and whether you sell commodity milk or value-added/direct-to-consumer products.


▪️To net $150,000 a year in profit from sheep farming, you will generally need a flock of 625 to 1,500 breeding ewes, depending entirely on your production system, land access, and marketing strategy.


▪️To net $150,000 per year from selling eggs, you need roughly 2,880 laying hens.


▪️To net $150,000 a year from meat chickens, you need to raise and sell approximately 22,400 to 22,500 meat chickens annually (assuming small-to-mid scale pasture-raised or direct-market economics).


All of this seems to assume you have free land, free equipment, and labor and access to markets without middlemen, and you are selling at peak prices.
