Small wheat farmers in Australia are doing okay - weather permitting of course. I have been growing wheat for 5 years now and 4 out of those 5 years have seen decent returns.
Cattle farmers did it tough due to the complete balls up of the then Labor government and their knee jerk reaction to ban live exports for a while. Now that it is sorted and live exports to China are gearing up they are doing much better and if a few years time will be doing very well. Again, weather permitting of course.
