Changes in Michigan farming urged for better living
Michigan State University economist Richard Wheeler warns central and north central Michigan farmers must change practices over the next decade. He notes Mecosta County has many small sales farms and that even a 15 to 20 percent price boost may not yield a good living on 30 to 100 tillable acres without major investments and improved markets. He advocates dairy expansion, soil conserving rotations, and possible off farm work as land gains and capital are required.
