Family Size Farms Pay Best in Eastern Nebraska
A farm management survey by the College of Agriculture in eastern Nebraska finds the best pay on “family size” farms, defined as 200 to 250 acres. The net profit comes from employing two men year round, with labor supplied partly by family members and boys. After expenses and 5 percent on investment, the average operator earns about $800 yearly including produced value.
