Advantages and Disadvantages of Farming

I think that the advantages of farming do outweigh the disadvantages, but just barely. While working with agriculture and livestock, it is easy for one to get their food. They have a dependable food supply. A farmer doesn’t have to worry so much about prices on vegetables going up. In fact, if he sells them himself, I’m sure that he will support it. Also, when you are a farmer, it isn’t as easy for you to move around with temporary housing. Therefore, you stay in one place, get into the neighborhood, and nobody is upset about leaving their friends. Lessons are also learned. It is always good to be concentrated and grounded. If you work with the land, you’re going to be a person who tends to be compassionate and knows to live in harmony. Farms are also often with neighbors. Neighbors mean communities, there to support you if anything goes wrong. Communities to buy produce. Of course, it takes time and energy to take care of plants. One can’t be impatient. If you eat your own food, and it has a mysterious disease, you can become ill. The lack of variety can also be very trying. And of course, there isn’t a farmer in the world who isn’t at the mercy of the weather. Droughts, floods, anything can completely destroy a whole crop for a farmer.
