Deb Johnson Deb Johnson 1 -- 2 1 29 9 -- 1 12 2
I miss you when something really good happens because you’re the one I want to share it with. I miss you when something is troubling me because you’re the only one who understands me so well. I miss you when I laugh and cry because you’re the one who makes my laughter grow and my tears disappear.
And I think of all the wonderful times we spent with each other for those were some of the best memorable times of my life.
Lov e, Your Sweetie

Though farming was once big business in the United States, by 2012 less than 1 percent of Americans were professional farmers. Many challenges face today’s farmers, many of which are largely unknown to the general public.Many people have an outdated view of a farm as a small, family-owned and operated parcel of land where livestock is raised in open pens and crops are hand-harvested when ripe. The reality is that modern-day farms have had to overhaul operations to meet demand and remain competitively priced while adapting to the ever-changing ways technology infiltrates all parts of life. Each of these factors present obstacles for today’s farmers.
Winter Farm News
Challenges facing farmers today and tomorrow
Technology Rural farming communities are expected to make an effort to integrate modern technology into an industry that has been around for centuries. But such a transition in rural areas, where communications systems may not be as up-to-date as those in urban areas, is not always so easy.
Decrease in farming as an occupation The United States Environmental Protection Agency says that only about 960,000 Americans claim farming as their principal occupation. As that figure has dwindled, the average age of farmers continues to rise, as the Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that roughly 40 percent of the farmers in this country are 55 years old or older.

HOME MAGAZINE | JANUARY 29 - FEBRUARY 4, 2013
According to the Manitoba Rural Adaptation Council, a shift from a resource-based to an information-based economy, compounded by the rapid introduction and expansion of new technology in the workplace, has altered farm operation and the skills in demand. Older workers who have been schooled in one way of agriculture may have a significant impact on labor supply and the vitality of farming as a career. Younger adults who are knowledgeable in technology may no longer seek out agricultural careers.

has led to concerns about the long-term health of family farms throughout the United States. Environmental concerns Many farmers have come under scrutiny for how farming impacts the environment. A growing emphasis on sustainability and conservation has led many people to protest certain farming practices. Protesters claim that certain practices, such as raising livestock, can pollute water, while the use of fertilizers and chemical pesticides is bad for the environment. Many farmers, however, have altered their methods to be more environmentally friendly and self-sustainable in the process. Climate change is another environmental issue farmers For all your agronomy, energy, feed and grain needs, must deal with. Strong storms and severe droughts have made farming even more challenging. see your local cooperative: Crystal Valley Coop.

Financial fall-out The ongoing recession of the last half-decade has also affected farmers. In November of 2012, the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics indicated that the unemployment rate within the agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting industries was at 13.6 percent, far higher than the national unemployment rate. As a result, many farm families have found themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place, as rising costs for equipment and technology are being coupled with decreasing profits and rising unemployment.

One of the biggest obstacles to the production of field crops in many areas of the world has always been rocky terrain: wide swaths of land where stones seem to grow better than any other crop. Even today, farmers are constantly fighting this problem, which can be very demoralizing because it’ s such heavy work. In the past, the farmer and his or her helpers — often the family’ s children, a great source of cheap labor — had to clear rocks from fields by hand, without any mechanical help other than a horse and cart. “Picking rocks” was a thankless job, one that the grandparents of today might even remember doing as children. These days, farms and fields have grown. In colder climates, winter frost continues to heave the land and spew up rocks every year, even on fields that have been cultivated for a hundred years. Fortunately, there is now a wide range of equipment and machines to do this horrible job. The increasingly sophisticated (and above all, tireless) machines include wind rowers, rock rakes, hydraulic or mechanical rotary rock pickers, rock buckets adaptable to tractors, rock crushers, and skid steer rakes. These machines are available in different widths and have one-pass variable working widths. Many farmers now use a wider rotary rock picker in order to pick up rocks in a larger area in one pass. There is even a piece of equipment with two rotary rakes measuring 4.5 meters each, extending the working area to 9 meters in one pass. Now that is a real labor-saving device!

Fallow land used for biofuels

Countries around the world are searching for ways to reduce their dependence on petroleum products. For many of them, economic development could be achieved through the use of fallow land for the production of biofuels. Ecologists believe that unproductive fallowland constitutes an enormous economic waste. In their view, choosing to leave such land fallow is essentially a lack of long-term vision, especially because dedicating fallow land to the production of plants with energy potential in no way McCABE the production of other crops on any given territory.

The discussion around organic agriculture continues with a recent study showing that organic food is neither more nutritional nor less polluting than traditional agriculture. Here are the conclusions of two studies that attack current beliefs regarding organic agriculture. One study from l’ Institut pour l’ environnement de l’ Union européenne, published in the Journal of Environmental Management, is a synthesis of 71 European studies. The good news they rustle up in favor of organic produce is that energy consumption per kilogram of food is not as high as in traditional agriculture. According to this study, pollution per kilogram of food would be higher for organic agriculture although it would be less per acre. However, as this farming method isn’t as productive, traditional agriculture is less polluting in the long run. The other study in question was conducted by the University of Stanford, in California, and published by the magazine Annals of Internal Medicine.According to the Stanford study, an amalgamation of several studies conducted in the United States, if the proportion of fruit and vegetables containing pesticide residues higher than government norms is taken into account, there is no difference between organic and traditional methods. The fact remains that for people who are uncomfortable trusting government regulations concerning pesticide use in agriculture, organic produce is still a valid choice. In organic meat production, the Stanford study shows that organic pork and chicken have 30 percent less bacteria with antibiotic multi-resistance than in traditional farming. These antibiotics are dangerous if meat is undercooked.

Last year’s drought shows up on grocery bills Last summer’s record-breaking droughts hit it home: the agricultural landscape is changing like we haven’t seen in our lifetimes. The North American Drought Monitor, a collaborative think tank within the U.S.’s National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, tagged many unlikely Northern zones as “ abnormally dry” in 2012. The problem was especially severe in the U.S., where drought hurt crops and incited farmers to cull animal herds because of the high cost of feed. What does that mean for the average Joe and Betty? Higher prices at the grocery store in 2013 and beyond. The CIBC’ s chief economist, Avery Shenfeld, says that this year’s food prices will rise by three to four percent. As the harvest season concluded last fall, production forecasts for soybeans, corn, eggs, milk, and pork came in low, with the added speculation that beef production will drop this year as well as feed costs begin to catch up with producers. While domestic food prices creep up, particularly hard hit will be developing countries that depend on stable world food prices. Research scientists writing in the August 13, 2012 New York Times Sunday Review affirm that climate model projections show extreme weather conditions are here to stay, and that most of them are the result of our consumption of carbon-based fuels. If that is the case, every family’s effort to modify their consumer habits by buying locally produced food and goods will help in the long run. As will making the switch to shared transportation or non-carbon fuels. It is a drop in the bucket, but as food prices rise we will all want to keep those drops dripping steadily.
