Farming – Constitution & Wisdom
Trade Skill
"It's hard work, but it's honest. Crops don't lie. You either did it right, or you starve."
——Ramsey Solomon, Peasant Farmer
Farming is the ability to identify, plant, grow and harvest plants for food. It also allows for the raising of domesticated animals for food production (ie. milk and eggs) or for slaughter. This also involves knowledge of the value of farmed goods and the best market for a particular crop. Farming lore allows a character to determine which kinds of crops will grow best in a particular climate or environment and the ability to locate the origin of exotic crops.
