What do you have to know to be a farmer?

You need to know a lot.  Chemisty, math, sciences, accounting, and how to fill out a lot of paper work.  You also need to know how to budget money very well, how to live without money for 3 to 6 months, how to repair equipment, how to tell the weather, and a million other things including planting, fertilizing, and harvesting.  You also need to have a very good stress reliever program. (Non-alcoholic)

If there's very little industry in an area, more than likely the area will be rural farmland.  And farming is usually not profitable, so hiring work is out of the question.  The cheapest solution then is having a large family to do all the farm work, gaining profits on farming and losing nothing on managing the farm.

There are lots of online ag education resources that deal with this. See sources for links.

Don’t try to find a singular method of getting everyone together, because people are different across all countries.  Instead find the common interest.  Farmers talk farmer talk no matter the difference in crops.  There are people in all countries who play chess, show dogs, paint, dance, study history, and on and on and on.  Find these common interests and let these people run on their own.  Peace will follow.

You could do a google search for agriculture. Or do a web site of a college,university and put in agriculture. Should find help in these. Good Luck.

Probably first thing you need to think about is how close you live to a number of courses. Unless you have a degree in horticulture or a similar study then you will most likely have to start out as someone who mows the grass or works as at the pro shop at the register. What skills do you have? Use them to your advantage. If you've been mowing grass for 5 years... make sure you let them know that or if your dad is Davis Love III, make sure you let them know! Good Luck!

Farmland usage greatly depends on the type of food being produced. Growing grains might require less farmland to produce enough to feed one person (for one day or for one year) than needing farmland to raise livestock or grow fruits and vegetables. Because of the different amounts of farmland needed to produce certain crops or livestock, you might look at either simplifying the problem -- either looking at a person's diet, and equating that to only one food source that is fairly universal (like rice) or looking at another unit of measurement that can be studied across different food sources, like water -- it takes water to grow crops for food, and it takes water to grow feed for food animals. The amount of farmland needed to feed a person greatly depends on diet -- meat production uses a lot more land than vegetation productions.\n\nCheck out the first link, and it helps to answer some of your questions with some actual numbers.\nThe second link mentions that "At least 1.2 acres per person is required in order to maintain current American dietary standards."\nThe third link states "Agriculture is the world's biggest user of water -- it takes at least 2,000 liters to produce enough food for one person for one day. That translates into 730,000 liters annually per person."

Believe it or not but they now are one of the richest and happiest people in the world, their hard work is now acknowledge and they have contracts with supermarkets and other food companies! Plus they are also recognised as nature's helpers as they grow and often give habitats for a few species like worms and chickens and without them There will be no food!\n\nBEING A FARMER NO LONGER SUCKS!

The basic difference is that many farms today are computerized. The farmers have to know how to operate machinery. 50 years ago, farmers and their families still had to do everything manually. That is why it was important in those days to have more male children so as to have more working hands. Now this question is almost irrelevant, even one man can operate those machines. Hope that helps.

agriculture is a very good field to get into. now that organic vegetables have gotten popular it is once again possible for the small farmer to prosper. good luck. maybe try a small nursery
