Tell me how do you decide which products to grow?
Submitted by: MuhammadWe base it off of demand, and what we can grow sustainably on our farm. I've been offered sheep for free which I refused because we didn't have the carrying capacity on our farm for them and the cows. I've been questioned about goats, which are verboten on our farm. I've had goats before, never again.
Currently we raise cows, because I like cows and that's really our main product. We also raise pigs because they do well in the woods and about half of our farm is wooded. Otherwise half of our farm would go unused or we'd have to log it. Plus we can turn pigs in about 8 months, vs. 2 years for cows so it's a quicker turn around on our investment. Lastly for pigs, I REALLY love our pork so even if we went 100% to cows, I'd still keep a few pigs on the farm for our family.
