🌱 Farming Is a Business—Not Just a Way of Life**

Many farmers work hard every day, but hard work alone does not guarantee profit. Successful farmers think like business owners.

Before planting or buying livestock, ask yourself:
✅ What will it cost?
✅ Who will buy my produce?
✅ How much profit do I expect?
✅ What risks should I prepare for?

A profitable farm has a plan, keeps records, manages costs, and looks for market opportunities before production begins.

**Today's Tip:** Start keeping a simple record of every expense and every sale. Knowing your numbers is the first step toward growing a profitable agribusiness.
