15 Agricultural Laws You Must Know
1. Choose at least two main crops and a plan.
2. Plan your farm and always have crops at different stages of age to ensure a constant supply.

4. Having a lot is not a guarantee for successful farming.
5. Have a spraying and fertilizing plan and stick to it.

7. Try as much as possible to reduce agricultural expenses without compromising the quality of products.
8. Never plant a new crop without first researching its growth requirements, market demand, and potential profitability.
