BS. It can, and often times is, more profitable than traditional farming. I encourage you to learn about Joel Salatin and the amazing Polyface Farms in Virginia. http://www.polyfacefarms.com/ By layering different farming enterprises like beef, hay production, pastured pigs, chickens, rabbits, and more, they have a higher profit per acre than many larger farms, and are doing so in a way that benefits that land, rather than degrades it.
