How do you figure?
$2400 calf vs $1000 an acre growing corn. And ton less inputs to do it.

Calf can make you $1000 net profit and corn presently not much better than BE.

What all the row croppers miss and cant understand. You have basically zero inputs. No crop insurance, way cheaper seed, basically no fertilizer, basically no machinery expense besides notill drill no chemical or fungicide expense. Thats why it works you have no expenses vs row crop. You can plant feed crop and tick if fertilizer for less money then corn seed and no ther expense. Or haul manure on and have only seed expense.

I took a small pivot out of corn production and intensive graze cattle on it. Makes more net then corn every yr the last 4 yrs
