A Farm Sitting Business??

I've joked about starting one because my husband and I do take care of farms around here while our neighbors go on vacation. We never charge them, but it usually works into a barter type deal. Now that I'm seriously thinking about leaving my present job, I'd like to find something to make up for the decrease in income. So.....I'm looking to anyone who may be reading this that has some advice to share. I'm thinking that checking on insurance for this venture would be the first thing to do. I've googled this topic and printed out some information. Have any of you ever tried this? We do live in a predominately agricultural community. Maybe go into this with a partner? Just thinking on the blog again. From Glory Farm, Rhonda
