Farmer for a Day - The day of a farmer is filled with one decision after another. When should I sell this crop? Do I purchase more livestock? Is this the right time to purchase more land? Should I lease or buy my equipment? Not only do farmers make their own decisions, they must also respond to factors outside of their control, such as the market, weather, and government policies. All of these decisions can ultimately impact you and your students as consumers of agricultural products.
Help your students understand the risks, economics, and decision-making that farmers face each and everyday, regardless of the size of their agriculture operation. The following activities will allow your students to become a farmer for a day and make decisions in various farming operations.
