Farm and Agricultural Workers

What is agriculture?
Agriculture is everywhere. Agriculture is a long word so it is frequently shortened to “ag.” Agriculture can be difficult to define so to make things easier just remember that agriculture is everywhere! We use ag products while we sleep (cotton sheets), when we get dressed (clothes), when we take a bath (soap), when we eat (food), when we use paper (tree crops), and yes, even when we stop to smell the roses (floriculture). One of the best ways to remember what agriculture means is to remember the 5 F’s. Agriculture is farming, food, fabric, forestry, and yes, flowers.

Agriculture is the science, art and occupation of cultivating the soil, producing crops and raising livestock. Agriculture is the very basis of civilization. It is the food we eat, the clothing we wear, the material of our homes, the gardens around us, and many of our traditions and values.

In addition to food and fiber, some of the products we use everyday come from plant and animal by-products produced by farmers and ranchers for example:

Health Care: Pharmaceuticals, ointments, surgical sutures, latex gloves, x-ray film.

Manufacturing: Adhesives, lubricants, solvents, detergents, polymers

Education: Crayons, textbooks, chalk, desks, pencils, paper

Personal Care: Shampoo, lotions, cosmetics, toothpaste, fingernail polish

Construction: Lumber, paints, tar paper, brushes, dry wall, particle board, tool handles

The purpose of this lecture is to help policymakers and scientists enhance crops and harvests while boosting growth and yields in the agricultural sector. This is strange to some policymakers and people living in urban places as they find it below their stature to discuss such issues. During some occasions, such issues are deliberately not reinforced in order to sabotage growth and advancement.

Crops on thousands of acres of land are being damaged due to rains, strong winds, and hailstorms. Letďż˝s first focus on rice plants and wheat.

Worldwide agriculture scientists: Can you bring your heads together?

How do we all prevent this? Prevention can be in terms of circulating plants which can withstand rains, strong winds, and hailstorms while monitoring weather and proper weather forecast.
What has been the annual pattern over the last five decades?
How do we investigate crop damage due to other causes?

I would recommend further research and development. When will the report be ready?
A new scenario has come up: weather modification as a means to enhance and weather modification as a means to sabotage or damage.
How do we investigate crop damage due to weather?
What do you think? What weather modification has been proven?
What weather modification is under further research?
What further research is required?
Who is responsible for funding this research?
Moreover, rice is grown in March and April and usually harvested in September and October.
Has anyone worldwide developed a better plantation by planting in March and April while harvesting it in June?
This would enable a second planting in June to be harvested in September, resulting in two rice crops per year. After that, we can plant winter crops.

If you search for it, you will get it. I am sure we can get such plants and two rice crops instead of one.
