Experiment/Interview : Habitats (farming)
There are many things that can go wrong on a farm, or with a farm. It takes a lot of maintenance for one, and it not something that can just be started and finished in one day. It is a life-long job and commitment. I interviewed someone who owns a farm and have collected some very informative information on how to keep up with a farm and the basics needs of a farm.

And if you are just starting out with your farm for the first year you can always ask a neighbor or person of experience. You will know when your crops or plants is fully grown by paying attention to the crop or plant everyday from the day you first start to see anything sprouting from the ground. Usually it will change color or change shape. Different signs will tell you different things about the crop or plant.
