Land and a food and water supply of the class most suited to dairying and mixed farming. Pig farming is not a business that can be successfully conducted on barren, unproductive soils. 3. Command of the amount of capilal necessary to float and carry the venture to a productive stage—though a big banking account is not necessarily a guarantee of success. 4.
