Keeping Your Farm Well Supplied

If you are hoping to move out of the city to the country so you can start your own farm, you had better read my blog. My name is Robert. Last year, my brother decided he was going to move from Sydney to Alice Springs so he could start his own farm. However, he wasn't very prepared for this undertaking.
