aug 14, 1920 - Farming in modern Society...
Description:
Farming in modern society: Farmers use technology to make advances in producing more food for a growing world. Better technology has allowed farmers to feed more people and requires fewer people to work on farms to feed their families. Today, most farmers use tractors and other motorized equipment to help with field work. Tractors, combines, plows, etc. are much larger and move much faster than horses, so farmers are able to produce more food in a shorter amount of time. These machines still need to be taken care of because they can break down just like a car, but they can run for longer periods of time and don’t need recovery periods. Moreover, seed technology has changed over the years through the help of both biotechnology and genetic engineering. In the past, crop harvests have been destroyed due to harsh weather conditions, but now scientists can change crop outcomes by modifying seeds in the first place.
