Really, it depends on what you are doing and what you are responsible for. If he owns 1000 acres of decent ground in a high rainfall area outright, that is a huge amount of equity he has to burn through before he's in trouble. And if you don't have rent or land payments, you can have bottom 1/3 production and still cover your costs as long as you aren't upgrading equipment, buildings and such. I really don't know anything about farming vegetables outside of what I've done in a garden, but it looks to me like he is operating a huge garden. That is significantly different than trying to push production on grain production, where errors nutrient management, pesticide efficacy, and disease can demolish a crop. I'm sure there are some similar concerns in NC, but if he's rotating enough and has hired a crop scout, he could probably get by. |

Brown made $20M guaranteed from the Rams, sucked thereafter, was cut in 2012, and couldn't catch on with another team.
In no way, shape, or form did he give up $37M to farm. |
