[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7798547, member: 718"] Any enterprise added to the core due to the core enterprise not financially sustaining the family or actually making a loss. Any enterprise that cannot stand on its own feet should be dumped because it weakens the business overall. It's as easy as that. Working an enterprise for pennies or a loss is a pure mugs game and subsidising the farm income from other sources, be it a wife's wage or a propping-up enterprise such as glamping is plain silly. If it doesn't pay, either do away with it or change it so that it does. Otherwise, if the diversified enterprise just props up an uneconomic business enterprise, you are just swapping a state subsidy for a home-made subsidy which you have to work for. Consider that you may be[U] better[/U] off if you dumped the drain on your resources. It might just be a matter of replacing the beef enterprise with letting the land to someone else and pocketing a rent that is more per acre than the net income that the beef currently provides.
