There are two basic divisions of farming based on the amount of land and crops or animals that one rears.
For crop farming we have the small-scale and the large scale farming.
Large scale farming is also referred to as commercial farming because the goods or crops harvested are majorly sold in exchange for money and this is where the idea of farming business comes from. Most small scale or peasant farmers farm in order to be able to feed their families but large scale farmers do so to make money.
Some problems farmers may encounter include:
✓ Poor transport mediums: Most of the farms located afar off do not have a good means of transport and crops get damaged on transport.
✓ Lack of storage facilities: the unavailability of storage facilities makes it hard for farmers to preserve their goods for a long time
✓ Lack of tools for mechanised farming: some farmers still lack the machines needed to ease farming operations and that is a major set back faced by farmers.
Either way, farming is a good business and there are many ways to run it effectively depending on your locality.
