How about managed, unfertilized tame pasture used
for fattening our grass-fed beef? Lets use a very
conservative 60AUDs per acre harvested - leading to
gains of over 2/lb per day. That gives us production
on a carcass basis of 1/lb a day sold at $2.20/lb (our
net price after processing, delivery etc) =$132/acre
or $21,120 per quarter.
At 80 AUDs per acre that jumps to $28,160 per
quarter.
I sure won't be growing canola any time soon.
