    City person wants to understand farming life for ~1 week

    Hello

    My name is Erica, and I'm currently writing a book about farming and climate change and I would really like to get to terms with what a farmer deals with on a daily basis. I'd love it if there were pigs and vegetables. Is that usual for a farmer to have? I'm an American from Chicago, but I can still muster up some good courage to milk a cow or clean up pig *** when necessary. Would just like to interact with a variety of tasks to help out a farmer town. It'd be best in South England, but I understand there are many pig farms in East England? I must admit I'm very new to farming, but my mom has always been and environmentalist and I'm actively pursuing an environmental agenda...

    If you think you might have a lead for me, do e-mail me!Yes

    Thanks very much, Erica
