5 Things you need to know when you start Farming
You Need Plenty of Water
It is nearly impossible to farm with government supplied water. If you do not have a borehole, river or dam on your property farming will be very hard and expensive. You can also be fined for using to much government supplied water and they can limit your water usage.
Farming with Live Stock
The general rule when farming with sheep is about 5 sheeps per hectare, depending on your area. Too many livestock on dense areas will convert free feed into buying feed. Feed for animals is very expensive and can lead to failure of your new farming business.
