Farming Technology :
A farm is an area of land that is devoted primarily to agricultural procedures or an area of water that is devoted mostly to aquacultural processes, in order to produce and manage such commodities as fibres, grains, livestock, or fuel. It is the basic manufacturing facility in meals manufacturing. Farms might be had and operated by a solitary person, family, neighborhood, firm or a company. A farm can be a holding of any sort of size from a fraction of a hectare to a number of thousand hectares.

Farming has been innovated at several different points and places in human past. Succeeding step-changes in human farming techniques were prompted by the British Agricultural Revolution in the eighteenth century, and the Green Revolution of the second half of the twentieth.

A business creating tree fruits or nuts is called an orchard; a winery makes grapes. A steady is used for operations mostly associated with the training of equines. Stud and industrial ranches reproduce and produce other animals and animals.
