Search Results - Farm

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

A farm is an area of land, including various structures, devoted primarily to the practice of producing and managing food (produce, grains, or livestock), fibers and, increasingly, fuel. It is the basic production facility in food production.[1] Farms may be owned and operated by a single individual, family, community, corporation or a company. A farm can be a holding of any size from a fraction of a hectare to several thousand hectares.

A business producing tree fruits or nuts is called orchard; a vineyard produces grapes. The stable is used for operations principally involved in the training of horses. Stud and commercial farms breed and produce other animals and livestock. A farm that is primarily used for the production of milk and dairy is a dairy farm. A market garden or truck farm is a farm that grows vegetables, but little or no grain. Additional specialty farms include fish farms, which raise fish in captivity as a food source, and tree farms, which grow trees for sale for transplant, lumber, or decorative use. A plantation is usually a large farm or estate, on which cotton, tobacco, coffee or sugar cane, are cultivated, usually by resident laborers.[citation needed]

The development of farming and farms was an important component in establishing towns. Once people have moved from hunting and/or gathering and from simple horticulture to active farming, social arrangements of roads, distribution, collection, and marketing can evolve. With the exception of plantations and colonial farms, farm sizes tend to be small in newly-settled lands and expand as transportation and markets become sophisticated.

The word came via French ferme from Late Latin firma = "fixed payment" from Latin firmus = "firm, solid", and originally referred to a big landowner farming out his land among other men to run it, rather than running it all himself. As times have changed fewer people are needed to assist in running the farm because of the increase of mechanization.

6. Economic Productivity | Surge In Economic Productivity
November 05, 2009

The economy is recovering, yet the Labor market is still in the despondency (we will see just how bad tomorrow morning). In other words, output is up, yet the number of hours of work to create that output is down. This, by definition, means that output per hour -- otherwise known as economic productivity -- is going up. Today we found out by just how much. Non-farm business economic productivity grew at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 9.5% in the third quarter, the uppermost rate since the third quarter of 2003 when it hit 9.7%. Output increased at a 4.0% rate, while hours worked fel... (read more)

In fact we can do more than that! It is a myth amongst consumers that supermarkets are cheap for all pr... (read more)

The men are haggard, exhausted collections of skin and bones. Starvation is an everyday concern; when there is food, which is rare, i... (read more)

23. What is a Vinatage Farm tractor?
October 29, 2009

Unlike many collectors of antiques, antique tractor collectors and users don't have clubs that give definitive answers as to what vintage, classic, or antique means. The word antique is a catchall word for any tractor that seems to be satisfactorily old. Some folks reserve the terms like classic or vintage for more recent models, but there isn't any consensus as to exactly when each term applies. Most people appear to agree that the 1960s models of most makes represent the cusp of antique tractors. Often , models that were produced in the 1960s commenced their production years in the 1950s...

October 29, 2009

While growing up on the farm in North Carolina, I loved gardening. There was something magical about planting a dollars worth of seeds, watching them germinate, and then feeding the family for a entire season with my efforts.
