Planning Your Own Farm Farmers rarely receive the respect that is due them.
Few people recognize the complexities involved in planning and running a farm.
Here students have the opportunity to do some role-playing and find out just how much work farming really is. Divide students into teams and assign them a particular type of farming. Each team is then responsible for planning their own farm. They must determine when to plant, how much to plant, when to harvest, what type of animals to raise, what price they will bring, how much they will cost to raise, etc. Final project will be create a calendar, along with a daily schedule of work to be done, and a budget.
