Think of yourself as a boss. Your immediate job is to create an evaluation sheet for your employees. You know the farmhand job, so what would be important if you were hiring someone to do your job? Knowledge of how to use farm equipment? How to train, feed, care and work with animals? How to plant a garden? How to cultivate, use fertilizers, keep weeds out? Good communications with the farmer, vets, or supply houses? Mechanic skill to keep old equipment and vehicles in working order? Work independently and have perseverance to complete mundane jobs? Strong and in good health to do difficult physical tasks?

When you have the list made, THAT is your skill set. Look for farmers in your area. In towns, see if several people would want to start a co-op and you plant them a garden on someone's vacant plot with them providing materials and pay for your tending it. Can your skills be converted to landscaping? Many people want "yard help" to keep their yards looking impressive. If you have equipment, can it be re-purposed for small landscaping jobs? If you're strong, you can help with moving - think moving companies, furniture stores, thrift stores, warehouses, or regular people looking to avoid paying exorbitant prices for moving, etc. Can you pressure wash? A good pressure washer can cost about $400 and you may have to use the customer's water. We have mobile car washing in my area, they come to your home or work, and don't need any water other than what they bring.

Post signs or business cards around your town. Some businesses have bulletin boards where locals can post their flyers and cards. Tell your friends you are starting a new business. Think outside the box, you have a lot of skills you may not recognize, and skills you haven't yet discovered because you've never used them or thought them important.
