    Success at Farming (as a business)

    Any ideas? I live in the US - and my cousin was involved in organic farming - but it just didn't last. What do you think he did wrong? Myself, I think the market was possibly too saturated and he didn't have the outreach costs (advertising or something similar) to overcome the obstacle.
