A Growing Field

A Growing Field
This article is about a farmer John Christian. For a farmer he gets up late, he startes his day at 7 a.m. During this time he startes his greenhouse, lets out the chickens, and water the plants. His farm holds four and a half acres in Canterbury,Conn. His land has trees,circles his farm is a old stone wall, it also has a pond and two springs that provide water for the plants and the farmhouse. Having a small farm can make $15,603.
Opportunity for Growth
Farming is a family business in this generation. In 2006, there were about 1.3 million farmers, and it adds it up wiith ranchers. There are lots of land that goes to these farmers(1,247 to 488,340 acres)....

Getting the Lay of the Land
Being a farmer take up lots of time, but as you get use to it is easy... In todays generation Michigan State University has a 1 year organic farming certificate program it offers courses in soil and crop management, farming planning, and marketing. With this school they give hands on experience on its 10 arce organic farm.
A New Row to Hoe
The only way that you know that farming is for you is to try it out of a couple of days. You can learn many new things by trying something new. But people say that farming is not for everybody.
