Good morning, I'm doing a business plan project with Farming Connect looking at ways of adding value and income to my current beef and sheep farm, and I was wondering which one would be the better option. What kind of financial difference would there be between a 32,000 hen shed and an 800 pig...

From some conversations I’ve had recently, I’m getting the feeling there’s some panick in businesses that rely on farming customers that large scale SFI options could become very popular.
For instance, suggesting that it wouldn’t be moral, or that you wouldn’t be a real “farmer” if you take...
