This represents the ability
to raise crops and livestock for food or other uses. In addition to
actually producing fields of plants and herds of animals, all of
which takes months and are dependent upon weather and other
conditions, Farming skill allows the estimation of the quality of
soil, identification of pests, the modification of fallow land to
productive use, and the breeding, care, and feeding of livestock.
Farming skill refers mostly
to open-air farming on a world with a hospitable environment.
However, referees may allow automatic override of the homeworld
restrictions to allow for farming in enclosed environments, such as
underground fungus farming, or large-scale hydroponics gardening.
