Dairy farmer Luke Brubaker has managed risks well enough to establish a long history of successful and environmentally friendly farming. At age 67, however, he recognizes that now is the riskiest time he has seen.
“Our costs to produce corn are now about as high as our gross revenue per acre was just three or four years ago,” said Brubaker. ”The price of corn has doubled, but so have the costs. Our net profit is about the same as it was.” (USDA Blog).
