Winter solstice occurs around December 21st in the Northern Hemisphere, marking the shortest day of the year. These astronomical events signify the changing of seasons.
The summer solstice, around June 21, has the longest daytime hours in the year, while the winter solstice, around December 21, has the longest nighttime hours.
seasons affect farming because when the earth does its orbit around the sun the seasons chang in the winter solstice the plants will not grow where in the summer solstice they will grow because they are getting alot of sun so to answer this question if a farmer tries to plant a crop in the winter solstice it will not grow

Most ignore it
we have it because the earth tilts
Winter Solstice is on December 21st. Shortest daytime of the year. The Winter Solstice of 2012 is also the date that many people believe the world will end.
The winter solstice doesn't affect the seasons. The Earth is tilted, and as it travels around the sun, different parts of it get more or less tilted towards us, which causes the seasons. A solstice is just a point that is reached twice a year, where the Earth's tilt to and from the sun is at its maximum, usually on the 21st of June and the 21st of December. When it is the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere, it is the summer solstice in the southern hemisphere and it is the same the other way around. A winter solstice marks the point for that hemisphere when it is at its maximum tilt away from the sun and when the days stop getting shorter and start to get longer. It will still be winter there for a bit longer, but spring will soon follow.
It is when the day is the shortest in the year. It really shouldn't affect temperature(except it might be cold be cause it is winter!)
