THE LEGEND
HOME RUN
Like all other aspects of today's business world, agriculture finds itself in a constantly changing environment. To take advantage of the benefits. possible by these changes, it is necessary to first recognize and understand them. In fact, the coming years will see a continued shift from an emphasis on labor to an emphasis on capital in the United States. There will also be a decrease in the number of individually owned farms. However, while spending has increased every year, the level of the agricultural commodity price index is almost unchanged.

IF you are one of those farmers looking for a new source of income, you might want to try fish farming. Even if you feel that this type of production has no place in your operation, the topic of fish farming seems to be of interest to most everyone who has wormed out of the endofakanepole.
