Subscribers will be expected to make key decisions on which crops to plant, which animals to buy and whether to put in measures such as new hedgerows to help wildlife.They will be asked to make 12 major monthly decisions during the course of the year as well as other choices.The options put to members will be within parameters dictated by climate, legislation, and the requirements of the environmental stewardship schemewhich the farm is signed up to, as well as the heritage protection given to the estate.The MyFarm website will feature video updates, webcams, information about farming and expert opinion and subscribers will also be entitled to a family ticket to visit the site.[color=#505050][font=Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif][b]'Real consequences'[/b][/font][/color]The National Trust says it is the UK's biggest farmer with 200,000 hectares in production, mostly managed by tenant farmers, including lowland arable farms and Snowdonia sheep farming.

[size=4][color=#505050][font=Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif]National Trust director general Dame Fiona Reynolds said the scheme was "all about reconnecting people with farming, giving them the chance to get involved with and feel part of the farming community and farming life and give them a greater understanding on how the food they eat gets to their shopping basket".But she said she was sure that there would be some "wacky" ideas proposed by subscribers."We're entering into it very much as an experiment," she added.Wimpole Home Farm's farm manager, Richard Morris, said: "MyFarm is Farmville for real. Real farming decisions with real farming consequences."By influencing the work at Wimpole, our farmers will start to understand the effects and implications of their own decisions."The National Farmers Union welcomed the project.Its president Peter Kendall said: "The National Trust's MyFarm project is an opportunity for a wider audience to see some of the competing priorities that 21st Century farmers have to manage."[/font][/color][/size] it is very funny It's so cool
