Farming is a huge profession. What kind of farm attracts you to want to work there? Cattle, sheep, chickens, hog, vegetable, Small grains such as wheat, corn and soybeans?

Before you can decide how to become involved in farming I believe you need to know what type of farming you are attracted to work with.

Do you like working with your hands or do you prefer to operate large machines? Are you put off by the smell of chicken, hog or cow manure? Do you like doing hard physical labor in the hot sun 14 hours a day during the busy season?

Ask yourself these questions and more then decide if you are still interested in becoming a farmer. I think a week or two on your families farm might bring you information and clarity about your desires and options.
