Farmer
A farmer in Canada cultivates crops and raises livestock to produce food, fibre, and other agricultural products. Farmers manage land, equipment, and resources to maximize crop yield and profitability while adapting to weather, commodity market conditions, and environmental regulations. They may specialize in row crops, vegetables, dairy, poultry, or livestock. Modern farming involves precision agriculture, technology, and sustainable practices to ensure long-term productivity and environmental stewardship.
