Summarize Your
Experience:



 

 Being my own boss was an excellent learning experience. I have worked under my Uncles for the previous 10 yrs and wasn’t able to see the business side of farming like I have had the opportunity running my own business.  It was extremely challenging and I was constantly learning something new.

 

What I liked most about
the job:

 

Watching my crops grow.

 

Challenges on the job:

 

 

I found that marketing your crop is one of the toughest challenges a farmer faces.  You must stick to your business plan and goals and be willing to make the decision of how much to sell and what price.
