12 Most Notable Things You Didn’t Know About Farming

I came across think link on Facebook and it was just too good to not post on here. I think the author, Brian Scott, lists some really great things… Below I have listed his top 12. Now, I encourage you to follow the link to the actual article and check out more about each one. Or, if you have any questions for me and would like me to explain a little more in depth I would be more than glad to- but he does a fabulous job of it!

1. Farmers are online and they want to talk to you!

4. It’s a global effort

5. The average farmer is 57 years old (and most have plans of retiring!)

6. Not all of us get up before the sun rises

9. The average U.S. farm size is…(418 acres)

10. The price of corn isn’t the price of corn (moisture and damage…can affect price)

11. Farmers don’t necessarily own all the land they farm 

12. Farmers don’t go to Florida in the off-season (I do dream about Florida in the off season…)
