Describe the conservation choices that you recommend for implementation on the farm.

There are numerous conservation choices that can be implemented in the farm. First, crop rotation must be implemented. For example, corn, legumes and small grains can be rotated.

"All animals are equal, but some animals

Are more equal than others" Alexis de Tocqueville has been quoted as saying that the skills used to create marvelous literature do not necessarily produce coherent and well-founded political thought and in most cases one might say that he was right. But that was not the case for English novelist Eric Arthur Blair more commonly known as George Orwell, whose work is characterized by political insight, linguistic clarity and irrefutable literary value, a work that can still inspire almost sixty four years after his death. A keen analyst of his turbulent times, Orwell was, according to Newsweek magazine, the ...

There are four transitions of food production that cultures have utilized. The first is foraging where people hunt wild animals and gather plants.

The first is human power. The second is animal power, and the third is mechanical power. These mechanizations, especially the machineries from the third ...

Farm subsidies provide a strategic approach of addressing the challenge of obesity in America. Some government policies in America allow production of corn in surplus to cater for the increased demand. However, most of the Americans do not take enough exercise to cater for over 50% increase in calories from cheap corn (Wilson, 2008). Obesity increased due to this factor hence production of farm subsidies provides an effective strategy of dealing because these foods have low calorie. By providing fewer calories to the body than the corn do, the subsidies undoubtedly provide the best food for the Americans in ...
