Producers today are faced with very small returns on investment, often as low as one or two percent. To recognize higher returns, many producers are turning to value-added agriculture. According to one study, value-added agriculture does not, and probably never will, increase commodity prices, but it can add value to those products by performing activities usually performed by others.

One important activity that can be assumed by producers is direct-marketing. Direct marketing is ideal for producers of registered animals of all types, including cattle, horses, and hogs as well as for breeders of small animals such as hunting or cattle dogs.

A recent fact sheet released by Ohio State University proclaimed that "Many producers are finding that if they sell their products directly to consumers, it significantly affects their profits. Direct marketing does not require substantial capital investments or additional business development. Direct marketing does require a change in focus by producers." (Ellerman, McFeeters, & Fox, 2001).

Minnesota State University claims that "If the farmers can move up the food chain by engaging in manufacturing and direct marketing, rather than just selling their raw commodities to a local dealership, then they would realize higher returns on their investment" (MSU, 2002).
