Traditional or old-type farming or early farming was focused more on subsistence than actually growing anything to sell, like with the modern farming methods. It involved much more manual labour and for longer hours than the more modern methods of today. Cropland was smaller, horses and oxen or steam-engines were used primarily for tilling, seeding and harvesting fields and crops, and there were no such things as fertiliser or pesticide chemicals to use in the fields, nor were there GMO crops nor nearly as many cultivars or varieties of a certain crop species to choose from. Farmers were highly dependent on climate and the weather to be able to bring in some profit margin or to help put food on the table. Livestock were always grazed out of doors, and managed just enough so that the offspring could be sold for some sort of profit. Selective breeding wasn't really started until 400 years ago (or around the 18th century).
Modern farming is still highly dependent on climate and weather to be able to bring in a profit. Except for greenhouses, the vast majority of farms that grow crops cannot grow them indoors; with a vast amount of acreage to cover, it is impossible to grow cereal, oilseed or pulse crops under a climate-controlled area. Many vegetables are and can be grown indoors, but again, most of them are plant outdoors like they have been for hundreds or thousands of years.
Modern farming is primarily an industry that involves growing food to feed many people from all over. The farmer is not growing food for himself, but rather for others who cannot grow food themselves. It involves much bigger equipment and less labour requirements (or rather, less people to hire) to cover a certain area of a field than what could be done 100 or 200 years ago. Fertilizers and pesticides are commonly used to get a much more cleaner crop with bigger returns per acre, and more varieties or cultivars of a certain species of plant are made available to farmers to grow for better yields, less lodging, more robustness and durability throughout the growing stages, and more growth or competitiveness over other plants that would be considered weeds. Crops are not just grown for human food, but for animal feed as well. Different varieties and cultivars are created for that purpose, and animals are selected so that they gain more efficiently on these feeds than they were designed to in the past.
Livestock in modern farming and agriculture have been selected to grow twice as fast and "finish" half the time that it would normally take a steer, broiler, lamb or goat to finish 200 years ago. Livestock are selected to be more efficient according to what they are fed and how they are managed, be it for grain or for grass. There are more options out there on how to manage different species of livestock than in the past. Many animals are now raised indoors in intensive operations, much more so than in the past. Some types of livestock though are still raised as they were in the past, such as goats, sheep, beef cattle and a fair population of horses, but their genetics have changed over time to meet market demands and a producer's demands.
In the developed countries, food is much more readily available with the onset of modern agriculture than in traditional agriculture. Food can easily be shipped from thousands of miles away to a grocery store near you, enabling you to get anything you want no matter the cost.
Yet another notable difference between traditional and modern farming is the ability to network information to others who are involved in farming, want to get into farming or are not farming but involved in some form of agriculture just the same. Thanks to the internet and governments more willing to support agriculture, information doesn't have to be passed down from generation to generation anymore, it can be passed across cyberspace to complete strangers who are interested in the same industry as the person sharing the information. In the past, tips and tricks and methods to run a farm were passed down from grandfather to father to son, hardly ever from farmer to farmer half a world away from each other or a hundred miles away. Today, a producer can learn about how things are done around East Texas, USA when he lives in the northern part of Alberta, Canada, or any other part of the world.
The principal difference is time perspective: marketable surplus is produce that a farmer currently has on hand to take to market to earn a profit, while marketed surplus is what she has already taken to market to earn a profit.
Suppose a farmer makes from 10 acres to 100 acres within 20 years of period it is a growth but no development. If he educates his children and makes them as educated family it is development.
A hectare is just over two acres, and on two acres of land, a lot of farming is possible. A farmer could plant fruit trees and create an orchard, or the farmer could build a chicken coop and raise chickens for poultry. The farmer could also plant vegetables and herbs and create a more traditional farm, or install a fish pond for additional sources of protein.
Subsistence farming is farming on a small scale, where crops are grown for local use, sometimes for the farmer's family alone. Commercial agriculture is farming as a business, where vast tracts of land are devoted to single cash crops. Commercial agriculture tends to use the latest technology available and minimizes the number of employees required.
You are a farmer and I am a grocer. I give you money in exchange for crops.
A farmer typically owns and operates their own land to cultivate crops or raise livestock for profit. A peasant, on the other hand, historically refers to a poor agricultural laborer who works on someone else's land in exchange for a share of the crops produced.

A farmer typically works in agriculture, cultivating crops or raising livestock. A seamstress, on the other hand, specializes in sewing and creating garments or textiles. Both occupations require specific skills and knowledge, but they involve different types of work.
The Farm Dakota Indians or "farmer Indians", followed the advice of the missionaries and took up farming and Christianity or followed the financial inducements by incorporating features of white culture into their own. The Traditional Dakota Indians, or "blanket Indians", continued to follow their traditional way of life which put them at odds with the "farmer Indians".
Both words mean "farmer," but 'colonus' can also mean "colonist, inhabitant."
One is stocking his mind while the other is minding his stock.
There is a great deal of overlap between these two terms. However, ranchers are generally individuals who are working with primarily live animals such as cattle or horses. In contrast, a farmer is generally an individual who primarily works with plants such as corn or wheat.
The difference lies in the number of farmers being described in the sentence:The farmer's tractor was stolen overnight.The farmers' along the river were all concerned that the river might flood.The difference is that one is possessive singular and one is possessive plural. Example of possessive singular:The farmer's pigs were all rolling in the mud so he had to clean them.Example of possessive plural:The farmers' barn burnt down so they had to rebuild it.
Traditional practices are doing things in the same way that they have been done for generations. For example, a farmer harvesting in the same way that his great grandfather harvested would be following traditional practices.
difference is only in their name. Sybase is developed by a farmer named sybase and oracle is developed by an actor oracle. sybase is tool which will help farmers and oracle is used to invent the actor inside us.
