- Large Animal (eg cattle or sheep)
- Grain
What farming practices do you plan on using?
- Conventional
Please elaborate on the type(s) of agricultural operation you plan on running:
I would use conventional methods of farming. Mainly I know that the best. I also have experience in seedstock cattle operations and if cattle were to be a part of the operation I would develop a seedstock program. That way I could sell value-added cattle and create a higher margin.
