You should consider what type of agricultural setup you want. Do you want a sizable farm, a backyard garden/farm or an indoor garden/farm? Agricultural setups range from large farms with cows and crops to small, personal indoor setups. 

What Are You Interested In Growing? 

Another important thing to consider is what you are actually interested in growing. Do you want to grow vegetables? Are you itching to grow those warm weather plants indoors that won’t survive the winter outside? Do you want chickens in your backyard? Do you want horses and cows on your large farm? What you are interested in growing determines the efforts that you have to put into your endeavor. For example, if you want to grow vegetables in the cold weather, you may have to plant things like kale. Certain plants may need very specific conditions pertaining to shade and humidity, and you may have to be very specific about how you take care of these types of plants. If you ant chickens in your backyard, you may have to apply for some sort of permit, or perhaps look very close at the laws if chickens are allowed—especially if you reside in the suburbs. 

Learn About What You Are Growing 

Before you partake on your agricultural adventure, you should know a thing or two about what you are growing. So some research about what you plan on growing before you invest in supplies. Do not think that you automatically know what to do. There may be a lot of little—yet very important—nuances that you do not know about or are forgetting. If you are dealing with a lot of plants, animals and/or land, you may want to read up on sustainable agricultural practices. 

Learn About Supplies 

Learn about the supplies that you will need so that you can get started. For example, figure out whether you need an organic fertilizer, and how much of it you would need. Figure out whether there are any types of equipment that you need—such as any type of light or incubator. If you are raising animals, learn about the proper types of feed that they need to consume. There are some foods out there that are marketed toward pets and livestock, though they really aren’t the healthiest options. 

Look At The Current Market 

It may be a good idea to look at how the market is when it comes to agriculture. For example, if you want to grow potatoes on a farm and sell them, you may want to look into the potato market. Some markets may be doing better than others. When it comes to growing certain things, there may be a catch. For example, you may need some type of machine or some costly certification to grow whatever you plan on growing. There may be larger competitors who may be making the market bad for others who want to grow a specific type of item. There may even be connections to the stock market.
