Choosing to farm is a huge decision for beginning farmers and can be a very difficult one. In this presentation we are going to be looking at an overview of the type of operations a farmer can choose from. We will discuss infrastructure, timeliness for profitability, market channels, and the types of practices that define who and what a farmer is.
