All farmers face important daily decisions about what crops to grow, what animals to raise, and what products to make each year. They must constantly adapt to seasonal and other natural changes, as well as changing economic forces. The goal for every farmer, past and present, has always been to gain the greatest yield with the least effort. Farmers weigh choices about which products will be most difficult to grow and profitable to sell.
