For just £30 (about C$48), you can farm in England and you don’t even have to visit.
The Wimpole estate in Cambridgeshire (http://www.wimpole.org/) is looking for 10,000 virtual farmhands as part of a program called MyFarm. The “farmers” get to work with farm manager Richard Morris to decide how Wimpole Estate should be run.
From late May onwards, online farmers will vote at least once a month on different issues to do with the everyday running of the farm including the selection of crops and animals to breed.
