   Sorry, this is a digression, I basically agree with you
   
   For poultry I think it's pretty easy to break even without a spreadsheet, it's more the hidden infrastructure costs (building materials, constant repairs to fencing, livestock housing, etc) that you don't really factor in to the actual feed costs typically for a small farm, that's where you really need a spreadsheet to understand what you're shelling out.
   
   At least chickens are insanely cheap and efficient to feed, especially if you actually let them free range in areas (please not your garden).
   
   The other stuff can get trickier to juggle. Lots of specialized supplies and equipment you need for things like milking, butchering/cold storage etc., but if you keep the scale small it's not bad. You can't go into it with no capital or no inherited equipment/land/buildings though. You need some money to get going to purchase and build all the things that you shouldn't have to constantly replace and just upkeep.
   
   You definitely can't sell competitively. You can find people willing to pay for a better product and it's getting easier to do so.
   
   Still, I hate that boomer faggot for making it sound like magically all of America will start buying from small farms and eating real food.
   
   Those fat fucks in the mobility scooters ain't eating anything that didn't come from a box or a drive thru.

     @ThePoastmasterGeneral RETARDED BOOMER ANIMAL RHETORIC
     WE DIDN'T HAVE REFRIGERATOR TRUCKS IN THE DAYS OF JEFFERSON EITHER
     
     REGULATORY BURDEN ISN'T EVEN HALF OF THE OBSTACLES TO SMALL SCALE POULTRY FARMING
     A SMALL FARMER IS IN A CONSTANT WAR AGAINST THE SPREADSHEET, TRYING TO GET ALL HIS EXPENSES LIKE FEED LOW ENOUGH THAT HE CAN SELL HIS PRODUCT AT A PRICE COMPETITIVE WITH THAT OF TYSON CHICKEN'S HELLRAISER POULTRY NIGHTMARE DIMENSION
     
     THE ONLY THING THAT A REDUCTION IN REGULATORY BURDEN ALONE WILL ACCOMPLISH AT THIS STAGE -- IS SHITTIER QUALITY AND HEALTH RISKS FROM BIG PRODUCERS
