    • The Gamble in AgricultureThe Gamble in Agriculture
      Agriculture and AgribusinessBoth farming and gambling have many factors in common when it comes to how decision-making can influence cash flow and how changes need to be taken when wanting to achieve larger profits. With popular online pokies, it’s easy to realize how decision-making and responsibility can have a major impact on winnings. As with poker, many decisions need to be made with farming which could lead to either great wins or major losses. Farmers are in a business in which they do not have any control over what their revenue could work out to be. Going ‘’all in’’ can be seen to exist in both farming and gambling. Farmers regularly need to use all their cash and savings in order to bet on their crops. Some elements in farming such as weather and grain market outcomes cannot be predicted and can ultimately lead to great losses. Crops can be damaged by too much or too little rain and the grain market could fall. With betting in the form of casino games or slot machines, the gambler also takes a chance to win big or lose big. Both gambling and farming can be seen as an investment that can either work out well or not. In games such as poker, many decisions need to be made to achieve the greatest chance of winning prizes. It’s one of the most important factors in farming and gambling to know when to go for the winnings or try another time. Farmers can lose in a given crop year but still make up for the losses with several future good years of farming. With both farming and gambling a person needs to be able to make the right decisions and act responsibly towards problems that may arise from poor decision-making and natural losses....
