A Growing Field

The article “A Growing Field” is about, a guy named John Christian. John gets up every morning at 7 am and lets out his chickens out of the hen henhouse. He opens up his greenhouse and starts watering his plants. He bought a property to raise animals such as chickens and goats. Then Three years before that he started an organic farm. “I don’t really think there is a day off…because it’s really more of a lifestyle.” Says John. And I think that is true.
It takes hard work to have a farm. You have to be really responsible. That means getting up early and getting things done. And no days off, because you know you that responsible. You have to have strong work ethic to go out there every day. “The best way to learn how to become a farmer is to work on an actual farm.”
The average income for a small farm was $15,603, not counting government subsidies. Just a small farm as having fewer than 179 acres or earning less than $50,000 per year.
“You see it start from a small seed and watch it grow!”
