SW Minnesota | My barns weren’t grossing any more after they were 25 years old than they did when I built them. During that time Utilities went up. So the last years really netted less. I can’t really put the last 2 years in that statement because I get reimbursed for utilities and am not doing chores and loading anymore. Net is probably the same as ever. They do pay more for new built barns but the income cost ratio sucks.
In my opinion reasons independents declined was a lot more complicated than new barns. There are a lot of farmers that just don’t want to mess with pigs.
