Welcome to our Crop Science Reviewer 
and Let’s Go Crop Farming!

This web site operates as an e-library. But first, what is crop farming? This is the theme of this site. 

It is farming mainly for the purpose of producing agricultural crops. On the other side of agriculture, there is livestock farming or animal husbandry which deals with animal production.

Crop farming can refer to a business or enterprise in which an agri-entrepreneur ventures in the commercial production of crops. Many individuals own or lease large tracts of farmlands, while others engage in corporate farming for the large-scale production of selected crops for profit. Some examples are sugarcane, oil palm, pineapple, banana and other fruit crops, cassava, corn, cotton, soybean, tomato and other vegetables, and many more. The possibilities are wide.

But for those poor marginal farmers, it is a means of livelihood and sustenance for the basic needs of the family. Many of them are barely educated who inhabit the most remote of rural areas and are always short of cash. They are those who are prone to introduce themselves as “I’m just a farmer”.
