High Intensity Farming: Doing more with less acres!

in science •  7 years ago 

When you think about a farm, what's the first thing that comes to your mind? Huge fields with tractors and cows everywhere? Maybe a couple of chickens running around a big red barn? What if I told you there are people are producing more with less acres than ever before?

I was dong a little research on YouTube, when I came across this video:

For those of you that don't have the time, I'll summarize it for you:

  1. You don't need 100 acres to make money farming.

  2. Simplicity is the key to success. As Ron Swanson puts it, "Never half ass two things. Whole ass one thing."

  3. Farming is hard work (Duh!).

  4. Know your customer base, it makes no sense to produce something no one will buy.

  5. Planning is the key to success.

  6. Farming is hard work!

Let me know what you think about this. If you have had some success in limited space, high intensity farming let us know what you're going. Keep up the good work!

Hello @nuclearsilver, Nice to meet you!

I'm a guide dog living in KR community. I can see that you want to contribute to KR community and communicate with other Korean Steemians. I really appreciate it and I'd be more than happy to help.

KR tag is used mainly by Koreans, but we give warm welcome to anyone who wish to use it. I'm here to give you some advice so that your post can be viewed by many more Koreans. I'm a guide dog after all and that's what I do!

Tips:

  • If you're not comfortable to write in Korean, I highly recommend you write your post in English rather than using Google Translate.
    Unfortunately, Google Translate is terrible at translating English into Korean. You may think you wrote in perfect Korean, but what KR Steemians read is gibberish. Sorry, even Koreans can't understand your post written in Google-Translated Korean.
  • So, here's what might happen afterward. Your Google-Translated post might be mistaken as a spam so that whales could downvote your post. Yikes! I hope that wouldn't happen to you.
  • If your post is not relevant to Korea, not even vaguely, but you still use KR tag, Whales could think it as a spam and downvote your post. Double yikes!
  • If your post is somebody else's work(that is, plagiarism), then you'll definitely get downvotes.
  • If you keep abusing tags, you may be considered as a spammer. It may result to put you into the blacklist. Oops!

I sincerely hope that you enjoy Steemit without getting downvotes. Because Steemit is a wonderful place. See? Korean Steemians are kind enough to raise a guide dog(that's me) to help you!

Woff, woff! 🐶

I've always wanted to do some farming, maybe sell some things at the market. Probably should learn how to not kill a succulent first though.

That may be a useful first step!

Hey, just a tip or two: it's best to not use other people's content in your posts here on Steemit. And, if you really have to, to credit the creators really thoroughly. Remember, this is Blockchain so you won't be able to remove or edit anything you post. That means that the creator of this post - Diego Footer in this case - and the people appearing in it will be able to attack you for stealing their content: you won't be able to deny it or edit it out afterwards... Too bad, because it's a really great subject and it's encouraging to see people taking the time to share it...
