The second is possible, depending on the context and the last is correct. The first should be "make a living (by) farming" The 3rd isn �t correct. I don �t recognise your country �s flag. Could you tell me what it is? |

I agree with Spinney �s answers. # Spinney: you can always right click on the flag and next click on properties to find out which country the flag belongs to. Cheers, Peter |

Hi everybody ,How are you all ? As far as I know ,I think all the sentences make sense depending on the context. They may also have the same meaning: taking farming as his livelehood, what do you think??? |

Hi !I think this stanza says farming is very important �f people work with farming they produce and make their own living .For example Turkey used to be a large agriculture country but our people dont plant veggies and fruits and they have no jobs anymore .Hope it is true . |
