    It’s agriculture, there’s always prprofit.

    This depends on to many factors to be universally true. Farming is so incredibly complex, that you can not make such a general statement. If you produce high profit crops for niece markets its much easier to make a profit. However, the whole conventional meat and milk industry is usually running at a loss (at least it has been since about 1-2 years ago where prices skyrocketed and still rise). It also vastly depends on where you are, what machines do you use, what’s the quality of your soil etc.

    No one goes into farming, because its easy cash. Farming is only easy cach when you are experienced and grow to massive sizes. All the small to medium scale farms are usually barely profitable or are running at a loss due to low prices (the price that the farmer receives for the product).
