I would not disagree with that. There is a limit of what "improvements" can absorb though and still be a profitable return. Sometimes excess profits can just become shiny new toys. In that case, I think off farm investments make more sense. Also, with interest at historic lows, I find it hard not to use other peoples money for some farming needs and put my own money to better use. That is going to depend on a persons ability to allocate capital though. Not everyone has the desire or ability to be successful at investments outside their core competency.
