    "A full vindication of measures of Congress" is one of Alexander Hamilton's first published letters, in response to the letter of " A Westchester Farmer", which accuses the actions of the first Continental Congress. Hamilton starts the letter with defending decisions and actions of the Congress, and disproving the "Farmer's" accusations by logically and precisely responding to his main points, with facts and examples. Then, he proves how the Congress has recommended the only effective way to secure Colonial security and establish a solid future, mainly by boycotting all trades with the British empire and gaining independence. Hamilton then, addresses the farmers of New York directly and talks them…

    To me, Everett Family Farms and Love Apple Farm are distinctly different. Everett is bigger and feels more "commercialized" while Love Apple is small but lovely. If I'm to compare these two to the farms we know, I'd say Everett is similar to CASFS but Love Apple is more like Chadwick garden. Everett is an organic farm. In Everett Family Farms, there were many crops we are familiar with, such as garlics, onions and strawberries. On the pricing board of the farm stand, it also shows that the farms have carrots, spinach, lettuce, kale, and chard. They also raise chickens in the farm and sell eggs, which I believe are pasture-raised. The farm manager, Emily, showed us around the beautiful farm to have a good at the cherry blossom intercropping,…

    The 1880s were a very difficult period for the farmers in the Great Plains and the West. The United States was going through many changes economically and socially. The farmers suffered most through these changes. Farmers faced droughts, insect plagues, and living in sod houses because of the climate in the Great Plains. Many of the farmers also had debts to pay but didn't have any money to pay them with because of the lack of silver in circulation and over-production of cash crops. Because of the farmers over producing mostly cash crops it lowers the prices in that type of crop, this is not convenient at all because farmers lose money. Farmers complaints were valid because they did not have the means to pay of their debts and other finances. In the 1890s the Farmers Alliance was created, it served the needs for education and farming methods, organized economic and political action, and later developed into the populist party. One of the populist party goals was to have more silver in circulation for the use if the people.…

    On the other hand, even though someone might say that not all factory farm industries operate under atrocious conditions it does not change the fact that all factory farms are a huge risk to the environment and is an inhumane act to animals. The factory farms are focused on maintaining livestock that they completely forget the harmful waste the animals produced or they don’t how to properly manage the waste. Another thing would be that factory farms create a lot of pollution, which is contributing to global warming. Furthermore, imagine being crammed in a wire/metal crate, separated from birth, never even been able to see your family, you might not never see the sun, or experience the feeling of warmth and love. And worse of all not knowing…

    Peter Singer’s “Down on the Factory Farm” and E.B. White’s “Death of a Pig” illustrate practices of raising animals for human consumption. The care and environment provided for the animals by both White and the factory farmer’s that Singer discusses can be labelled as ‘animal husbandry’. White and the factory farm worker’s animal husbandry methods can be deemed as ethical, or unethical. Bernard E. Rollin defines good animal husbandry as “keeping the animals under conditions to which their natures [are] biologically adapted, and augmenting these natural abilities by providing additional food, protection, care, or shelter” (6). Through this definition of ethics and the criteria established by the “Principles” found in James P. Sterba’s “Reconciling Anthropocentric and Nonanthropocentric…

    Two short years ago I made a decision that would shape my entire future and mold me into the person I always had hoped to be. It was an irrational decision, made purely on assumptions, and naivety. I decided to join an Agricultural & Environmental Science class during the start of my junior year. Prior to entering the program, I had a very sparse knowledge of agriculture and placed little value on the subject. I was simply enthralled just to be apart of a class that would allow me to study animals, and gain hands on experience. However, little did I know, that the moment I was accepted into this Agricultural class, my entire life would change. For two years now, I have been blessed to immerse myself in my Agricultural program, and FFA chapter.…

    The colonists developed an economy based on farming, commerce, and handcrafts. Life on a farm was very difficult and was a way of life for ninety percent of the colonists. Nine out of ten people lived on small family farms. Most family farms raised or made all that they needed for everyday life. The most challenging thing for farm families was to clear the land of trees. The fireplace is one of the only sources of heat they had, so keeping a supply of firewood was very important.…

    Agricultural Subsidy

    • 3026 Words
    • 13 Pages

    Agricultural subsidies and tariffs have been widely debated for several years and this is an issue that is not going away. There is no doubt that the subsidies and tariffs have benefits for some while simultaneously being detrimental to others. The chief area of concern is regarding the faceoff between developed nations, such as the United States and the European Union, and underdeveloped or growing nations, such as Brazil and African nations. What essentially is occurring is that a developed nation comes up with a price that they feel an agricultural product should be bought and sold at in the world market. Once they have this figure, if the going rate of the product dips below the number then the governments respond by giving subsidies to the farmers of their nation. These subsidies offset the dip in price and allow the developed nations farmers to still maintain their profit margin at no extra cost to them, while tariffs protect domestic farmers from cheaper, developing country export prices. If developed nations did not do this, farmers from their respective nations would not be able to compete with the far cheaper producers in developing nations. By doing so, richer nations are covering portions of the costs for the farmers allowing them to compete on the world market and in some cases dominate it. In developed nations if the subsidies were removed, it may in fact benefit the average consumer in those nations. They would be able to get their goods at a lower price while also not have to lose as much in taxes to pay for the subsidies. On the flip side, they might not have as much access to the products because in all likelihood the market for agricultural products would no longer appear feasible, thereby pushing producers out and depressing the supply.…
