In Reply to: The Future Of Farming posted by vicinalvictor on October 01, 2018 at 06:22:47:
In my opinion, based on what I see locally in Northern NY, I think the future looks like this- It's going to be all huge LLC/Corp dairy farms with the exception of a few organic/on farm milk sales/goat/sheep/niche farms catering to a tiny sector of the market. Custom hay/harvesting guys will likely grow. As far as fruit and produce, the Amish and strictly organic guys have that sewed up and I don't see any change there. Beef/lamb/meat producers are going to get squeezed harder and harder until they drop out because of taxes, regulation and other costs. The little homestead/hobby farms will continue on about as they are now, losing money every year but doing it because it's a lifestyle.
No clue on whats going to happen to grain farmers, big hog/poultry, etc., but it wouldn't surprise me if it followed along as dairy will.
