2. • A farm is a place in the country where crops are grown
in the fields and livestock is kept to produce food.
• When I say livestock, I mean animals such as cows,
sheep, lambs, pigs, goats, chickens, ducks and geese.
• You might also refer to them as cattle and poultry.
• They produce the dairy and meat produce which is
then sold at the local traditional market.
• But farms can also be orchards and gardens as well as
plantations and vineyards.

3. • Fruit, vegetables, cereal, herbs are just a few
examples of what can be produced on a farm.
• There are barns for storing hay, farm
equipment and keeping the livestock safe.
• There is a milking and shearing shed as well
as birthing pens and broiler houses for
keeping chickens and rabbits.
• There are also Greenhouses scattered around.

4. • Farms can be simply run as a smalll subsistence farm only
to provide a living for the farmer and his family..
• They can run as a co-operative with other people, a bit like
a community venture or they can be run as a big business
farm factory.
• The success of farming depends on irrigation, cultivation,
climate and technique.
• An educated farmer understands the laws of nature and
the four seasons of the year.
• Farming is a labour-intensive job, much less so than in the
past with the hand held hoe and the harnass of the buffalo
or oxen with the plough but nevertheless intensive just the
same with the mechanical tractor and combine harvester.

5. • Museums exist to educate and create public awareness
about where food really comes from and to give that
unique experience of life on a country farm to a city
dweller.
• There are petting zoos too to provide a hands-on
experience to life down on the farm to young children
and a chance to milk a cow.
• And Organic and Hydrophonic farming are a consumer
driven trend in not using pesticide or chemicals in the
growth process of the crop.
• In the modern era, farming is extended to fish and
birds in fisheries, ponds or aquariums and aviaries as
well as wind and even cannabis farms, whether legal or
not.
