A farm is an area of land that is devoted primarily to agricultural processes with the primary objective of producing food and other crops; it is the basic facility in food production. The name is used for specialised units such as arable farms, vegetable farms, fruit farms, dairy, pig and poultry farms, and land used for the production of natural fibres, biofuel and other commodities. It includes ranches, feedlots, orchards, plantations and estates, smallholdings and hobby farms, and includes the farmhouse and agricultural buildings as well as the land. In modern times the term has been extended so as to include such industrial operations as wind farms and fish farms, both of which can operate on land or sea.
Farming originated independently in different parts of the world as hunter gatherer societies transitioned to food production rather than food capture. It may have started about 12,000 years ago with the domestication of livestock in the Fertile Crescent in western Asia, soon to be followed by the cultivation of crops. Modern units tend to specialise in the crops or livestock best suited to the region, with their finished products being sold for the retail market or for further processing, with farm products being traded around the world.
The Farm may refer to:
Livestock are domesticated animals raised in an agricultural setting to produce commodities such as food, fiber and labor. Livestock are defined as being useful animals; which implies a commercial purpose, or being reared for financial gain. However, in recent years, livestock are also raised to promote the survival of rare breeds, leading to many charities being formed around this issue.
Livestock are raised for profit or conservation of rare breeds. Raising animals (animal husbandry) is a component of modern agriculture. It has been practiced in many cultures since the transition to farming from hunter-gather lifestyles.
Livestock as a word was first used between 1650 and 1660, as a merger between the word live and stock.
Older English sources, such as the King James Version of the Bible, refer to livestock in general as "cattle", as opposed to the word "deer", which then was used for wild animals which were not owned. The word cattle is derived from Old North French catel, which meant all kinds of movable personal property, including livestock, which was differentiated from non-movable real-estate ("real property"). In later English, sometimes smaller livestock was called "small cattle" in that sense of movable property on land, which was not automatically bought or sold with the land. Today, the modern meaning of "cattle", without a modifier, usually refers to domesticated bovines (see Cattle), however, in some cases livestock can mean cattle. The modern definition of livestock is useful animals kept on a farm.
start extremes
so extreme
left it clean
found a place to hide
I love the place
I took your face
forgot to face it
by myself I cried
I want you to know
I left you there
I hid upstairs
I had to kid
because you're the one I see
I looked around
I felt the ground
its soul not found
it's hard enough for me
I want you to know
hey
did I let it go?
stay with me
tell me if it shows
I want you to know
I brought you there
I thought you cared
not to step
but you just couldn't see
it's always you
it's always me
it's always talking
you can set it free
I want you to know
hey
you're the one who knows
stay with me
I can't let it go
hey

I want you to know
