Welcome to Granger Invests — where small farms become serious businesses. We break down startup costs, potential revenue, daily workload, risks, common mistakes and realistic growth plans. Most farm business advice is either too optimistic or too discouraging. This channel does the third thing: it runs the actual numbers. Every episode takes one rural business — sheep, cattle, laying hens, bees, mushrooms, farmland — and builds it out on paper across five years using current USDA market reports, state extension enterprise budgets and real auction prices. Startup costs, the hidden costs nobody budgets for, the year the money runs out, and what it could realistically be worth. I'm not going to tell you I built a two-thousand-head operation. I read the boring documents and show you where the business breaks, before you spend your savings finding out the hard way.
