A Growing Field

This article is about a farmer who’s name is John Christian. He is a farmer that gets up late he says. He starts to work at 7 a.m. He opens the greenhouse and lets the chickens out and he waters the plants. John has about 179 acres of land to do his farming such as raising livestock, animals, and other plants. John is only 23 yrs. old. He doesn’t think that he is going to get as rich as an organic farmer. Then farmers like him only get $15,000 average of income a year. Farmers do not use synthetic fertilizers, they do their best effort to develop some good soil. Farming since the last 3 or 4 years the average of farming went up 20%. Now there a lot of farming in the United States and in order to farm you have to be a certified Organic Farmer. John says “the best way to learn how to be a farmer is to work on a farm. He also thinks that there really aren’t any days off in farming, because it’s more of a lifestyle. He says there a lot of people who want to learn about farming and know more about the environment even though each of them didn’t grow up in a family who did farming a lot.
