Million dollar farming investments reshape Prairie business view
The author argues that modern farming is a large scale business with annual investments in machinery, fertilizer, seed, and fuel, totaling hundreds of thousands or more each year. Farmers rarely seek press coverage for such spending, but the public would better understand bread prices and farm costs if farming’s business nature were emphasized. The piece contrasts idyllic rural myths with today’s high cost of operation and the need for farmers to promote their economic realities.
