The reality of farming. It's not overnight millions

I have thought about it in this light before and I know why people would think that. We eat food everyday, we get them from the grocery store, the grocery store gets it from the farm. All that cash exchange looks like big profit on a daily basis. So it's no surprise anyone would think that.

But before that food gets out of the farm looking fresh, it has survived a lot of hardship. Actually the cultivator, the farmer, the investor, has been through a whole lot.

This video is a person's farm after a storm. It was not a serious storm that destroys homes and kills people but it was enough to ruin some of the crops.

I know that there are measures to avoid such damages but knowing what farmers go through to get their capital, they can't really have all the tools, equipments and resources that they need to be perfect and completely avoid this kind of catastrophe.

Just trying to start a farm alone takes many months of patience, financial investments and hard work. Months pass when you're preparing the ground, planting seeds and taking care of the crops. Everything that will go on right depends on the combination of factors. How much sunlight was around, the rain patterns, the condition of the soil and your pocket because anything can happen that would demand money.

No one will be able to cope with weather conditions and predict what happens during any particular month.

The impact of bad weather can cause serious harm to the plantation. Just look at the damages in the video.

Heavy rains can flood the roots, washing off the valuable minerals too, don't forget about that. The storm itself is what does the main damage to the stalks and can do that in under a minute depending on the force it comes with.

Watching your devastated fields after the storm can leave you without any words. It's a fragile business. Yes it's profitable like I said in the video but it's fragile in spite of all technologies and attempts to preserve the plantation.

This is why agriculture is considered one of the riskiest sectors to get into business in. The unpredictable nature we are living in can ruin the whole harvest in no time. Dealing with losses and making an attempt to restore the plantation also takes a lot of money, time and efforts.
