Answer:
Transportation can present major challenges for small farmers looking to move products to market. Limited access to transportation can impact how a farmer moves products into the supply chain, which inhibits their growth as a business. To improve transportation without buying a fleet of trucks, many will partner with agricultural transportation firms to get their products on the road.
In many areas, there are only one or two companies in the game that can handle agricultural transport needs. For example, most livestock has specific requirements for comfortable transportation, such as well ventilated trailers and no-slip floors for hooved animals. You need the right equipment to do the job safely.
Providing access to transportation for farmers can generate a strong profit. Entrepreneurs can provide the raw materials for transport, including trucks, trailers, and other equipment that are designed for livestock and produce. Alternately, agricultural trucking companies can take on a transport role, allowing farmers to spend more time with their crops (and less time traveling around the state bringing products to market).

Agritourism
People like to feel a connection with the land. In recent years, more people in urban areas are interested in finding out more about where their food comes from and how it’s produced. People have seen the dining side of farm-to-table, now they want to see the farm.
The recent emergence of agritourism as an industry shows a lot of promise for entrepreneurs. Traditionally, farm tourism would be largely relegated to the individual farmer, who will host small tours of their operations for interested visitors. An industry of agritourism consultants have also cropped up to help guide farmers who may not have experience in customer relations, liability, marketing, and events coordination.
