Vegetable Farming


Vegetable Farming is a form of farming that can be done by hand labor and with mechanical machinery to plant and grow vegetables.  Depending on they type of soil and produce use to farm will be the outcome of the growth of your vegetable. Soil death, water and the amount of drainage the plant is able take in will help development of the vegetable.  Season are varied for each vegetable, spring vegetables such as carrots and broccoli, in the fall season squash and tomatoes are grown at there best because they require  long sunny days. When certain vegetables when they are not in there season they are sold to stores for a higher price and store prices go up as well. These farming techniques all begin in one from soil,water, and sun, which are there farming process to become a store product store product.  



Factories use LED lights in order to hasten the production of vegetables. With these special lights climate and soil are seen as less of an issue than back in the olden days. Produce can accelerate from two to four times faster along with up to ten times the quantity compared to natural farming. With the assistance from popular market leaders such as Phillips and SolarMax business as well as harvest will be bountiful. 



Technology has revolutionized the world we know as depicted in the example above. Strawberry farmers in Northeastern Pennsylvania grew weary of the extensive picking that last from 4 to 6 weeks during each harvest. It was then Keith Zimmerman invented the "Picking Assistant" in order to relieve some of the strenuous activity from the farmers. This machine can carry up to six flats of strawberries as well in order for the picker to cease the constant back and forth. 




Vegetables are an essential part of the dietary plan for all individuals and with that being said it's important we ensure the environment we grow them in is proper. A drawback to this would be that if the land or atmosphere is inefficient in the slightest such as Global warming will cause a downward spiral. From failure to grown crops to something as serious as releasing harmful UV rays back into the atmosphere. Vegetables such as the potato are extremely exposed to this setback due to their need for a specific climate controlled environment to gain it's nutrients for growth.

Another potential risk of vegetable farming is the modifications that some farmers set with plant's growing habits. Like the tomato shown above most of our vegetables are being genetically modified with enzymes that affect the ripening. Not to mention their size and shape.With so much artificial pumping into what is suppose to be natural we are exposing ourselves to possible mutation and unnatural DNA sequences which could be found in the "Fish Tomato" genetically altered for Arctic climate.

With farming there is no easy path but with these steps any upcoming farmer can find success in this field. Proper management of the soil is top priority since you want the quality of your product to be produced in a proper environment. Also if you are going to consider growing unique crops rather than the standard. Standard crops such as potatoes and sweet orb will be more competitive to sell in the market. Lastly, keep records of your production costs and price your products accordingly since this is still a business.
