Farm vs. Ranch
Both farms and ranches involve agriculture, but they focus on different types of production.
1. Farm
- A farm is a place where crops are grown, and sometimes animals are raised.
- It is focused on agriculture (e.g., vegetables, fruits, grains, dairy, and livestock).
- Example:
- The farmer grows rice and corn on his farm.
- My uncle owns a dairy farm with many cows.
2. Ranch
- A ranch is a large piece of land used mainly for raising animals, such as cattle, sheep, or horses.
- It focuses on livestock rather than crops.
- Example:
- Cowboys work on the ranch to take care of the cattle.
- The ranch has hundreds of acres for grazing animals.
