Description

Hi my name is Chris!

And in this udemy course I'll be going over all of the basic information you need to know about starting your own farming business.

We will specifically be talking about grain farming and field prep. As well as machinery, Finance Management and a few bonus tips on how to get your feet wet in this agriculture industry.

Farming is a very rewarding and fulfilling job to have.

So if you're ready to expand your knowledge on agriculture in general this is the course for you.

I was a farm hand for 11 years and a farmer for 4 years. In this time I learned all about managing employees, budget work, mechanic and maintenance too heavy machinery as well as operating various equipment.

Hard work aside there's another part to farming that involves strategic planning while you keep up with the grain market, taxes, along with all the variables in chemical and Seed.

Will also be finishing this course on organic farming.

My dad was a high-end organic Farmer for 8 years. In that time I learned a whole other side to not only farming but also agriculture practices that I'll be sharing in this course as well.

Feel free to leave any questions and I will get back to you as soon as possible usually within 3 business days.

If you felt this course informational feel free to leave a review I will also respond to that review within 3 business days feel free to share and keep up-to-date with all of our other courses.
