| AVP_Matt - 5/2/2026 14:12 I can say with almost absolute certainty that if a corporate owned entity was making the same margin on their product 17 years later, either the early years were an outlier or they would be in a different business. Especially when you figure one of their larger costs hasnt changed.
In hindsight the ROI on barns built 20+ years ago was really really good. Some of those barns paid for themselves in 5-6 years and then started paying for farmland.
IMO, those years were the outlier of massive ROI with minimal risk.
What you see now is the more normal, not much return for not much risk. You get paid for the labor and not much more.

Anyone priced a hog barn recently?
