Farmer



    Today there are less farms around, but the farms that are still around are huge compared to the ones in the past. Farming is not an easy job to get into now the best bets are horticultural and organic farming. Most farmers need previous knowledge of farming by growing up on one or get secondary education. Most farmers also need a knowledge of the new developments in agriculture. The job is definitely more than a eight hour a-day job it is often 12-14 hours a day. The pay can be good at some farms but very poor at others depending on size and crop. Overall the work environment can weigh everything else out because of the outdoor work environment and interest in the job.
