Farmer

Farmers are responsible for producing food, fibre, and other products by managing land, crops, and animals. In the UK, farmers may specialise in arable farming (growing crops), livestock farming (raising animals such as cattle, sheep, or pigs), or mixed farming, which combines both. The role involves tasks such as planting, harvesting, maintaining equipment, caring for animals, and managing business aspects like finances and marketing. Farmers need practical skills, knowledge of modern agricultural techniques, and an understanding of environmental and animal welfare regulations.
