All about Farmer
Farmers grow crops and raise animals to produce food, fibre and other products. They plant seeds, water and care for crops, harvest them at the right time and look after livestock such as cows, sheep and chickens.
Modern farmers use machines, sensors, weather data and computer systems to manage their land. Farming needs knowledge of biology, weather and business, as well as hard work and patience, because growing food depends on the seasons.
