Debbie:

Commercial covers a rather wide range. Are you just interested in raising broilers or hogs to sell as organic or at least farm-raised? Or are you interested in large-scale contract feeding?

In either case, go talk to your county ag agent.

Before you sign onto any contract feeding spend time visiting with those who are already doing it for the same company. Personnally, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I am sending you an e-book copy of my book on "How to Earn Extra Money in the Country." There may be some help for you in it.
