[quote=Anonymous]Have you explored 4-H?  Also, there are a lot of farms, both for livestock and agricultural, in Maryland and Virginia so your daughter may be able to explore her interests in this region.

When some of the county fairs start popping up (a ways away, I know) perhaps you can go and talk to the parents/kids who are exhibiting and you may be able to network your way into some opportunities for your daughter to have some interesting experiences.  You could do some of the same thing with local farms that have self-pick operations - visit and talk to the owners about their experiences.  Most of them love to talk to people about what they're doing (but maybe not on the busiest day at the busiest hour if you get what I mean0.

FWIW my cousin and her husband own/operate a very successful and sizable livestock ranch with a little agricultural too in the Mid-West.  It is not a life for the faint-hearted.  Their children have 2-3 hours of chores to do [i]before[/i] they head out the door to school.  My cousin and her husband have a 24-7 responsibility for the ranch.  It is hard for them to go on vacation even with multiple levels of ranch and farm managers as well as the ranch hands.  They love the lifestyle but it is all hands on deck all the time.

On the other hand, dreams are good and frequently dreams of one thing manifest into something else that may be related so keep encouraging your girl to dream![/quote]
