Farming is a continuous practical process. One keeps learning new things every day.
Its not for the faint hearted
Its not for the get rich quick
Its not for the unbeliever
Its not for the e book subscribers
Its not for the faithless
Its not for most urban dwellers
Its not for the lazy bones
Its not for the visionless
Farming is life

Its not for the faint hearted
Imagining pest destroying your vegetable farm while you were told no remedy
Imagining cows trooping into your farm for 30 minutes when you went to get some food
Imagining drought and weather changing when you least expected
Imagining the fertilizer you applied now burning your crops
Imagining the seed you bought at an expensive price not germinating.
Imagining your matured nursery being infested by leaf rot
Imagining after all efforts the offered price is not something to write home about
Imagining the buyers dictating the commodity price that they have no idea of the cost price.
One just keep imagining and imagining endlessly.

The faint hearted will just ................

ITS NOT FOR THE GET RICH QUICK
For as long as one can not :
Bring about a drop of water from the sky to fall : RAIN
Influence the climate change: WEATHER
Predict if the seed will grow evenly on all acres : GERMINATION
Determine the pest and disease that will affects the crop : INFESTATIONS

How then do you calculate your ROI from the above unpredictable factors??
