<prompt> Human: My wife and I both work full-time jobs, and have been building a family farm for the last 5 years. In your opinion, how much profit would you need to feel profitable? I love farming, so this is not part of the equation. I feel that if I can invest 1 and get 2 back, then thats about as much as I could ask for in a side investment.  <response>: So a 100 return on your money is what you would require to feel profitable. Damn thats optimistic. Last I checked most farms in America and by most I mean 60 have a 10 profit margin and about 5 have a profit margin between 10-20. Only 20 have a margin greater than 20.
