Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get funding for your farm. Choose a business name to register your business under and get a license. Form a corporation for your business. Register for an Employer Identification Number (EIN). Set up a business bank account and keep track of your expenses. Have a forest management plan set up by a professional. Request an inspector from the ATFS to visit and certify your land. Market and sell your trees.

Answer: Make a business plan to determine how much you'll need to start your farm. Consider land costs, seedlings, tools and equipment, and labor costs for your business plan. Then, you can present the plan to investors or to a bank to get a small business loan. If you're not sure how to do this, work with a lawyer or an accountant to help you with the process. Check with your city or county to register your business. You may need to register it with the state, too, depending on where you live. It's usually a simple form to fill out. You may need to change your name if another business is already registered by that name. This doesn't have to be your public business name, so don't worry about it being perfect right now. You can do business under another name as long as you fill out the appropriate form later. Typically, an LLC is a good option if you're a small farm, but check the options in your state. An LLC protects you from being personally liable for your business. If you're not sure where to begin, get a lawyer to help you. If you don't plan to hire employees, you can also operate as a sole proprietorship, meaning you are the sole owner and worker. This number identifies you to the federal government in the U.S. You don't technically need one unless you have employees, but it can be beneficial to get one anyway, as you can use it in place of your Social Security Number when doing business. You can register for one at https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/apply-for-an-employer-identification-number-ein-online. If you try to do it under your personal banking account, it can get confusing remembering what's business and what's personal. Also, set up a spreadsheet or use accounting software to keep track of your expenses and revenue so taxes are easy when they come around. Hold on to your receipts. You may want to hire an accountant for tax season. While this step isn't absolutely necessary, it will help you maintain a healthy farm over the years. Plus, part of the criteria for becoming a tree farmer with the ATFS is maintaining healthy woodlands. That means taking care of the soil quality, species, invasive pests, diseases, air quality, and water quality, all of which requires a management plan. You submit this plan to the ATFS for certification. A professional forester can help you develop this plan. You can also create a plan through the website www.mylandplan.org. This website helps you build a plan for maintaining your land properly. To get started, you'll need to create an account. On the next page, include information on your land, such as how many acres you own and what things you want to do with your land. For instance, you may want to make the land healthier or more profitable. This certification is good to have, as people are interested in buying from sustainable growth farms. The inspector will come and visit your land to see if your management plan handles the issues with maintaining your forests. They will also ensure you meet the standards laid out in the Standards of Sustainability. The inspector will approve or deny your request. If they approve it, you can post a sign showing you are a certified American Tree Farmer. Otherwise, you can try to make changes based on what the inspector said to get certification in the future. As a member of this organization, you agree to protect your woods against disease, pests, fire, and overgrazing. You also promise to reforest the land when you harvest trees, as well as protect the beauty of the forest and preserve special sites. To understand all the requirements, read the Standards of Sustainability at https://www.treefarmsystem.org/stuff/contentmgr/files/2/419d6002f47f967bf2951ec125010fb0/misc/intro_to_the_standards_of_sustainability_for_landowners_dec_2015.pdf. In addition, you promise to work with loggers who are licensed and insured. If you're only just beginning, this part of the tree farming is way down the line. Eventually, though, you'll want to either sell your trees wholesale to a retailer (easier but you get paid less) or have people come and pick trees to buy. Either way is viable; it's just up to you which you prefer. If you invite people to your farm, you will need to advertise well in advance of the holiday season on places like social media, the radio, and television, if possible. You'll need signs out at your farm and extra people on hand to assist customers.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Look for physical signs of illness. Examine for dry skin. Notice lack of movement. Smell the tank. Check for mites. Observe behavior. Avoid confusion with molting.

Answer:
Although illness is relatively uncommon, crabs can get sick. This is usually related to problems with their habitat, or "crabitat," but may be a result of other issues such as mites. Hermit crabs need access to water to keep their skin moist and healthy. Examining your crab for signs of dry skin can keep your crab from drying out and ensure it can breathe properly. Signs of dry skin in hermit crabs can include: Lack of water in the tank or on a sponge Matte appearance to the skin Excessive burrowing to get at moist spots in the tank The environment in the tank is vital to a hermit crab's health and promotes its movement, too. If your hermit crab isn't moving around much, the water in its habitat or even toxic paint on its shell could be killing it. Lethargy can also be a sign of stress. Recognize that most hermit crabs like to play and will move around their habitats a lot if they are not molting or sick. Make sure your hermit crab is moving regularly and not hanging out of its shell, which can be a signal that it is dying. Remember that lack of movement can also signal molting. Foul odor coming from the tank can signal illnesses related to problems with the habitat. Check on your crabs every day, which can quickly signal you to any bad smells that might be coming from the animals or parts of the tank. Be aware that there may be a broad range of odors that can signal problems. These include: stinky feet, fish or shrimp, mildew or must, rotting food. Mites are arguably the most common cause of health issues for hermit crabs and you should be especially vigilant in checking for these. Be aware that there are "good" and harmless mites that inhabit crab's spaces and bodies but that there are also "bad" and harmful mites. Watch out for the following types of harmful mites: Gill mites, which are light pink or red and bury into the gills of hermit crabs. These mites are often not visible until after a hermit crab's death because a flap of skin protects the gills of live animals. Crab mites, which glue themselves to soft parts of hermit crabs' bodies including the eyes, mouth, or joints. Crab mites range in color from white to cream, grey, pink, or red. In addition to the physical symptoms of illness, hermit crabs may also exhibit unusual behaviors. Checking on your crabs daily will help you see each animals typical behaviorhermit crabs do have distinct personalities-- and can alert you to potential problems. Some behavioral problems to watch out for are: Digging down into the habitat sand or coconut fiber to "de-stress" Consuming large amounts of food or water Soaking in the water dish Being very lethargic. Hiding in its shell for long periods, especially if it usually enjoys attention. Molting in the open. Hanging out of its shell in a limp or lifeless manner. Sickness is rare among hermit and other types of crabs. However, there can be some confusion when trying to tell if your hermit crab is sick because many of the symptoms of illness parallel the signs of molting such as missing limbs and burrowing for days or months. Some additional signs that your hermit crab may be molting and not sick, especially if the crab exhibits several of these symptoms, are: Digging Drinking large amounts of water or soaking in the dish Spilling water from the dish to dampen the sand or coconut fiber in the tank Cloudy eyes Ashy-looking skin, which is also called the exoskeleton Lethargy.
