As a professional in the field of Agriculture, I've been a silent member of this forum since January 2015 taking my time to read virtually what is being posted here by different writers.
Some good and truthful while some are worse than lies.

Agriculture, like any other legitimate business is a worthwhile venture given that who ever is into it is willing and ready to follow the required GAP (good agricultural practices)
The basic truth is that there is no magic in it neither is it a get rich quick avenue.
Whatever you plough into is what determines what comes out to you.

I once met a guy who said one can make millions within few months and I laughed.
Of course it is possible but are we ready to pay the price?
Most times they tell us what we want to hear and not what we must hear to succeed in this line as a profession.

If you must succeed in agriculture, you must be ready to pay the price; learn, be mentored, spend morning, follow instruction and pay attention to details. Then the God of increase will smile and crown your efforts.

Keep a date with me, let's grow together.

Absolutely.

Reliable network is also very important when it comes to marketing(sales). @OP Nice hints.

If you sow sparingly you will reap sparingly; your level of involvement in agriculture will determine your returns therefore, if you want to do well in this sector invest your resources but be wise in doing do.

Just like venturing into any ideal business, Agriculture requires highest level of skills and up to date information.

If you want to rely on the practices of yesteryear you should be expecting the yield of yesteryears.

If you must move forward then you must look forward

We can actually grow together.
