I think that there are ups and downs to everything. I think that agriculture and farming have many disadvantages, such as: what would happen if your crops died and that's how you and your family make money or that's all of your food for a while? And there's also the problem that nothing can be 100% Garanteed. There are many advantages though, such as: The satisfaction of having planting your own food, and I think that it must feel safer to have your food (and money) write there in your own back yard, instead of having to look for it.
