high input costs? dont do so much inputting, we are being brainwashed by the chemical, fertiliser and machinery industry, and farmers weekly is their shop front, Bigger and more isnt always better, just gets you into more debt. stay small, rotate crops, concentrate on local markets and above all diversify into many different produce like the traditional farmers of old. they were never rich, but in a lot less debt, and when 1 market dropped they always had other markets to fall back on.
Farming does well during recessions because we subsidize the industry to the point where there is hardly any risk in it.
