I've been thinking about this for a number of years. That's why I picked fairly high numbers, like $250,000 to $400,000. I was thinking it would have to be an entity that would stand as a full-time farming operation on its own—be it a feedlot, cash crop, horticulture business, or farmers who are in both beef and pork—so costs can be allocated to different things.
Most farms now are getting fairly sophisticated computer programs for doing bookkeeping. It's relatively easy for us to cost enterprises, and we do that so we can do our own cost of production calculations.
My opinion is that it should be explored, for farms that have that sophistication, etc.
