Maybe part of the problem in how much profit a farm makes is definition.
I know a lot of small farmers, particularly those who have little or no debt,
tend to overlook many cost items such as opportunity cost of farm
capital, and their own family labour.
I suspect that labour is a greater component of total farm costs on small
farms -- perhaps particularly on organic farms -- so including return to
operator labour in with operation profit could distort these proportions a
lot.
For what it is worth....
