They say there's only one way to make a small fortune in farming...
Start with a large one.
This week a real life farm will be taken over by web users across the world who will vote on key decisions taken on its cattle, pigs, sheep and crops.
The MyFarm Experiment will hand over power at the National Trust's 2,500-acre Wimplole Estate Farm in Cambridgeshire to 10,000 members of the public who will choose which bull to buy, which crops to plant and whether or not to turn the lower field into a cannabis plantation.
Wannabe online farmers will pay a one-off £30 fee to join, which also allows them to visit the farm in person. Alternatively there's still Farmville, the other virtual farming game which currently has 47 million players a month and is still Facebook's most popular game.
