its a great idea specially if your hearts in it. its best that you have your own land so you wont have to pay or rent it. make sure you know how to take care of your crop. but first, know whats salable in the area so you can easily sell it.

@bslash I think if you like agriculture you can start it as a small farm. After much experience you can easily broad your business. I prefer part time agriculture.

Agriculture is a good path to cross because you are going to feed the economy and you will feed your country. Remember to at least make a research and study so you will be able to handle situations like drought ,diseases and pest.

In the field of agriculture, it takes a matter of time to established as business. Some of my friends are in this field but they need to finish their major to understand the real concept of agriculture.

Water will be your biggest asset. Make sure you are in an area with excellent supplies of water and great drainage. It's one of those resources that you need to depend on.

Agriculture is not easy as there are many factors that are outside our control. Also the expenses are high if we do not have prior experience with agriculture. Think through before taking a decision.

Agriculture is a very exciting and also very challenging career. Its not only focused on planting but it also involves highly technical means of propagation, new and organic ways to fertilize crops etc. You can start by trying to grow herbal or ornamental potted plants just to test if youre a green thumb and if your comfortable with plants.
