Farming

From SFWiki

This skill represents the character's ability to till earth, plant seeds, and harvest crops.

Higher ranks in this skill mean that the character is less likely to fail and more able to adapt to weather conditions and other events on his crop. Futher, the number of ranks a character has in this skill serves as a limiter to the number of fields that can be maintained by the character.

This skill is not recommened for starting characters unless they plan to devote themselves exclusively to farming. However, obtaining land to farm is not easily accomplished at the beginning of the game, thus the value of this skill may not be apparent until later.
