Countless people look down on farming as a deadbeat job meant only for the poor, dirty, illiterate and the never do wells.
It's not a profession where you come across many people who are fashionable, well-dressed and who spend lavishly, so it's really hard to convince the youths and people who don't know any better that there's money to be made in farming.
With the advent of the internet and technology, the terms 'freelance', 'work from home', 'virtual jobs' and such have become fashionable and acceptable. We just don't want to stretch the legs and get the hands dirty any more.
Don't be deceived by the dirt and the muck,
there's huge wealth to be made in farming. Heck, there are over 7
billion mouths to be fed into. Daily.
It doesn't matter whether you are rich or poor, educated or not, preacher or protestant, when you're hungry, you eat. There are no two ways to it. And for those who are big eaters and those who eat several times a day, let's just say you make the farmer even richer.
The numerous exciting opportunities available in agro-business from the farmland where there's continuous production of crops and animals to having wheat and chicken on our dinning table for supper are so incredible and rewarding that you really don't have to pick up a hoe and cutlass to make money from it.
Examples abound all around you to support that fact. Some of the richest men in Kenya, China, US, Nigeria, Brazil, etc are farmers or men who deal directly with farmers.
Recent technology is helping farmers increase yield, production and riches and there's probably no better time to start farming than now!

So I ask again: is there money to be made in farming?
Yes, I'd answer without hesitation. Lots of it, even.Examples abound all around you to support that fact. Some of the richest men in Kenya, China, US, Nigeria, Brazil, etc are farmers or men who deal directly with farmers.
