What exactly isn't working ?

Are you trying to send chute input into the building, or automatically output from the building onto a chute?

Output
You need to make sure it's starting from the green arrow that is shown when you click on the farm. If you don't start the chute there, you'll need a grabber on the chute to get the output to work.

Also, not all items are compatible with chutes. (Although I thought everything from the farm is chuteable?) Which Items are you outputting from this farm?

I have had this happen: when placing the farm, a structural block was placed under it and I had to add a ramp afterwards to get access to the farm. I did not see that this happened initially and was confused as to why it was not outputing.

I did chute my very first farm to a flour maker. So I know it is doable.

The vast, vast majority of people posting about those things either don't have the elevation right or did something wrong in one way or another. A complete tutorial on scafolding would help a lot I think.

I know that at least sugar isn't chute-able, because in my current town one of my farms is screaming about one of its products being incompatible with the chute I have at its exit, even though I have a grabber on another side of the building grabbing the sugar (and the farm's other products are grain and berries, which are definitely outputting on the chute).

As long as a chute is built on the farm's output space (and its connected facing it) then it should output onto a chute like most other buildings?

Only if your chute is not starting from the door.

Is your chute going uphill? If yes, it won't work. It doesn't have motion like the conveyor belts so it relies on momentum from your worker.

There is a very limited amount of products which is actually "chutable".
