Benefits Of Organic Food

Benefits of Organic Food
The Benefits of Organic Food–Draft #1 Organic food, once only found in health food stores, is now
a consistent element at local supermarkets. So what is the difference between a conventionally
grown apple and an organic one? The answer is in the way the crop is grown and what it is and is
not exposed to.
In order to be labeled "organic" the farmer who grew it used renewable resources and conservation
of soil and water methods. Also, organic farmers do not use conventional pesticides or weed killers,
which may contain synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge. According to Fisher, "Sewage sludge
from municipalities' waste may contain heavy metals and toxins . . ." (1). Rather, organic farmers
use sophisticated crop rotations, spread mulch and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Compacted soil can result in soil that is unable to create a run–off surface. If this happens, the water
will be unable to seep into the soil and irrigate the crop. Tractors passing over soil can cause this
compaction to occur, which is why tilling is a more effective way to stir up the soil. And as a bonus,
tilling can help get rid of weeds, so it is a win win.
Pesticides and preservatives are not only harmful to human beings, but they are also harmful to our
environment and ecosystems. Pesticides used in organic farming may run–off and contaminate
nearby bodies of water. If enough contaminated run–off from pesticides and artificial fertilizers get
into water, it is able to poison animals and fish that live there. According to Raloff, recent studies
have demonstrated that exposure to hormones has a substantial effect on the gender and
reproductive capacity of fish, throwing off the natural cycle, (1). This is not only harmful to the
animals that live there, but if enough fish are dying because of poisoned run–off, the fish industry
could suffer and it will affect humans as well. The same chemicals that poison bodies of water could
seep into our groundwater and affect the well water we drink and use daily. This does not happen
with organic farming, because no chemicals are ever sprayed on the fields and there is much more
run off because of tilling practices.
Organic farming does not only include crops. There is also organic eggs and meat produced by
livestock

The Bianca Monologue
On a quiet day, long ago, a young girl sat in the field where her father worked. Bianca's hair was
long, dark, and coarse complementing her caramel skin. She sat, eyes closed, taking in the warm
June day. The corn, the air and the soft songs that the workers sang in the fields made Bianca smile.
"Bianca! cariño! It is time to go Bianca! Andale! " yells her father from across the fields. She rises
to her feet, brushes the red, clay dust off of her shawl, and begins to walk home. She walks hand in
hand with her father as the sunset in Veracruz, Mexico sets. As they approach their humble home,
the smell of enchiladas and frijoles wash over them. The savory aroma entrances Bianca and her

Together they sang a song known all over their country. They sang loud, and with pride for some
greater force couldn't help but here their desperate cry for help. As the solemn song drew to a close,
the people heard a big, treacherous, man's voice boom from above. "A young girl will fall as the
crop falls. Once she has found true love she will be replenish her and as will the hearty crop!"
Thunderous cheering roared through the church along with tears of joy. The elders gathered all of
the young ladies in the village and kept them together to keep watch over. Bianca felt out of place. It
surely could not be her the voice was referring to. She was just a humble girl and her family needed
her. As Bianca began to leave she became light headed and fell over. She was the one the man had
prophesied. The elders rushed over lifting her towards the gods. As she weakened, so did the crops.
The village waited patiently for a young man to arrive with the love to heal Bianca and the wheat

Crop varieties/advanced lines will be planted at seeding densities and row spacing typical for
organic small grain production in the NGP. Within each plot shortly after crop emergence, three 1 x
1 m subplots will be established that contain 1) Crop only 2) Weeds only and 3) Crops + Weeds.
Emergence timing of crops and weeds will be noted. At critical crop growth stages (tillering, flag
leaf, and physiological maturity) crop plants will be evaluated for height, leaf blade width, and tiller
number. At physiological maturity, crown projection biomass of crops and weeds will be sampled.
Using a ceptometer, leaf area index will be assessed at these critical crop stages in weed–free
subplots. At physiological crop maturity of the crop, the subplots will be harvested. Crop and weed
plants will be separated by species and counted, then dried to determine plant biomass and crop
yield. By comparing weed biomass and density between Weed–only and Crop + Weed plots, crop
weed suppressive ability will be quantified. By comparing crop yield between the Crop only and
Crop + Weed plots, crop tolerance to weeds will be quantified. These experiments will be conducted
during years 2 and 3 (2019 and 2020) of this project.
Data analysis: For each variety and location, we will calculate variety competitiveness as:

Advantages And Benefits Of Organic Food And Organic Foods
Introduction
Outline/scope
"Organic agriculture includes all agricultural systems that promote the environmentally, socially and
economically sound production of foods and fibres. These systems take local soil fertility as a key to
successful production. By respecting the natural capacity of plants, animals and the landscape, it
aims to optimise quality in all aspects of agriculture and the environment. Organic agriculture
dramatically reduces external inputs by refraining from the use of chemo–synthetic fertilisers,
pesticides and pharmaceuticals. Instead it allows the powerful laws of nature to increase both
agricultural yields and disease resistance. Organic agriculture adheres to globally accepted
principles, which are implemented within local social–economic, geoclimatical and cultural
settings." (Logan, 2009) In simple terms organic farming is fresh foods that are grown without the

Centripetal Acceleration Lab Report
Introduction: As objects move in a circular motion or change direction, they are accelerating, this
form of acceleration is known as centripetal acceleration (ac). The direction of the acceleration is
always towards the centre of the circle. Centripetal acceleration can be represented by the formula
ac=V2r=42rT2=42rf2. In these formulas, v is the velocity, r is the radius of the circle, T is the
period, and f is the frequency. Furthermore, velocity can be represented by the following equations
v=2rT=2rf. In order to calculate frequency, the free body diagram must be taken into consideration
in order to calculate the force of tension. In this lab, the force of tension and gravity are assumed to
be the only forces. Furthermore, the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
As a result of this, the stopper will complete the necessary rotations in fewer seconds. Finally, in
turn, this allows the frequency to increase as the radius decreases, proving they are inversely
proportional.
Finally, the frequency and the mass of the spinning object (rubber stopper) are inversely
proportional to one another specifically that as the mass increases, the frequency decreases.As the
spinning mass's weight increases, it would take more force to rotate it causing it to slow down.
These larger time intervals would drastically decrease the frequency as the growing mass would
result in a lower frequency.
Experimental Design: A hanging mass was connected to a string that passed through a hollow tube
that had a rubber stopper connected to the string on the other side of the tube. A person held the
glass tube and spun the string above their head so the rubber stopper would spin and raise the
hanging mass at a constant radius from the hollow tube.
Independent Variables: Tension from the hanging mass, the radius, and the mass of the rubber
stopper.
Dependent Variables: Frequency of the rotations
Controlled Variables: Gravity, and the apparatus

Physics of Ice Skating
Many everyday activities, and sports involve physics. During the Olympics, you saw the graceful
performance done by the figure skaters. Figure skating involves a lot of physics. These principles
include friction, momentum, and Newton's Third Law. These core principles plays a big impact on
the performance of figure skaters. Before understanding the physics of the ice skater's motion, the
first thing to comprehend is the skates itself.
The major parts of figure skates are the boot itself, and the blade. A figure skater performs a spin by
rotating the blade backwards as the skater spins on a fixed point. This fixed point, is also known as
the balls of their feet. The skater also has the toe pick, a rigid part of the blade located at the front of
the blade, touching the ice. This allows the skater to put a forward pressure down without sliding
forward and falling backwards. It also helps keep the skater's balance. When the skater performs a
jump, he or she pushes off the toe pick, jumps, lands on the toe pick, and then rocks down to the
blade. This also adds stability. The design of the blade allows the skater to rock down to the blade
from the toe pick due to the curvature of the blade. This is called the rocker. The skater imparts the
momentum from its opposite leg, back into his lower foot and then continues to move. This leads to
the movement of the figure skater and the laws and principles of physics used to perform them.
Figure skating involves ice, which means there

Why Do Not Football Helmets Promote Neck Injuries Essay
The goal of this project is to work towards answering the question of whether or not football
helmets promote neck injuries. In order to gather data, a U of R team made a machine that rapidly
changes speed while translating from side to side to stimulate a rotational acceleration and velocity
about the head and neck due to an angular displacement. The purpose of this machine is to simulate
an unexpected and sudden change in motion of the head in order to analyse the resulting motion.
The data collected was the rotational position of the head, the linear position of the cart, and the
linear position of a point on the body. All measurements were made with and without a helmet. In
order to answer the main question, there had to be a further understanding of how the mechanics of
the head and neck change with the addition of a helmet. To achieve this, MATLAB was used to
compute the resulting velocities and accelerations, the reaction forces at the neck, and the moment
about the base of the neck. From these calculations, it is possible to make observations about how
the addition of a helmet affects the dynamics of the head and neck. The code is structured with a
script of general input data such as the given data and labels for plots. All of the given position data
was corrected to start at position zero for better comparison between the positions with and without
the helmet. The information was then passed into a function that converted all data into the desired
units, computed

Cash crops
What is a cash crop?
A cash crop is a crop that grows well in the area. A cash crop is very popular and you make lots of
money for growing it. For example, in the New England colonies tobacco was a cash crop because it
was high in demand and also because the New England colonies had the perfect conditions to grow
tobacco.

The Crop Of Crop Rotation
Crop rotation is a systematic approach to choosing which crop to plant where in your vegetable
garden from one year to the next. The goals of crop rotation are to help manage soil fertility and to
help reduce conflicts with soilborne diseases and soil–dwelling insects like corn. This process then
changes the different types of nutrients in the soil helping the soil to have more nutrients and the
crops to be better at resisting diseases and pests. One of the methods that was used with this
appropriate farmer was fertilizer. Fertilizers were first used by farmers in the Middle Easter and
European countries approximately eight thousand years ago. Biology of the plant: Another method
used was cover crops. One of the cover crops that were used ... Show more content on

It can also be used for other plants for something to climb on in case other plants need support to
grow on. This process is useful because with this method saves sustainability to other plants as
irreconcilable to trying to buy products to do the same thing. Best results for the plant to be
progressing is to be watched by farmers. This ensures the best crops to mature and grow. One of the
organic fertilizers' the farmer uses is milorganite. Milorganite is one of the oldest branded fertilizers
on the market today. It is composed of heat dried microbes that have digested the organic matter in
wastewater. Milorganite is manufactured by the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District. This
fertilizer is slow–burned and is full of nitrogen. Being at the farm is not a lot of research on
milorganite from sources outside the company. This process may be better left naturally because the
process still requires man made input and output. This uses viable resources. There is an article that
I found interesting and has more background about milorganite named Promoting Forest Recovery
on a Surface Mine Site With Nutritional Amendments. "Two conventional fertilizers with the former
featuring urea as the predominant N source while that for the latter was exclusively ammoniacal and
nitrate forms; and Milorganite 6–2–0 + Iron, an organic amendment derived from municipal
biosolids." (Walker, Roger F. 2012). There is another article called Nutritional

The Benefits Of Sustainable Land Management
One out of every three people on earth is in some way affected by land degradation. There are
estimates that there are nearly two billion of land degradation worldwide. If you think about it, that
is twice the size of China! This includes large areas of cropland, grassland, woodland and forest
areas whose degradation reduces productivity, disrupts vital ecosystem functions, negatively affects
biodiversity and water resources, and increases vulnerability to climate change. Sustainable land
management is crucial to minimizing land degradation, rehabilitating degraded areas and ensuring
the optimal use of land resources for the benefit of present and future generations. Sustainable land
management (SLM) is to harmonize the goals of providing environmental, economic, and social
opportunities for the benefit of present and future generations, while maintaining and enhancing the
quality of the land (soil, water and air). Sustainable land management combines technologies,
policies, and activities. The more ecologically balanced land management can achieve both
economic and environmental benefits. The four common principles of sustainable land management
include: land–user–driven and participatory approaches; integrated use of natural resources at
ecosystem and farming systems levels; multilevel and multistate holder involvement; and targeted
policy and institutional support.
There a few different plants that can be used as a cover crops. The two main plants are legumes and

A Biomechanical Analysis of the Roundhouse Kick
Anatomical Analysis
Tae Kwon Do is a Korean, unarmed martial art and is best known for its kicks (Park, 2001). The
roundhouse kick is a turning kick and happens to be the most commonly used kick during
competition (Lee, 1996). For this reason, the roundhouse kick will be analyzed in reference to
sparring competition. The roundhouse kick, a multiplanar skill, starts with the kicking leg traveling
in an arc towards the front with the knee in a chambered position (Pearson, 1997). The knee is
extended in a snapping movement, striking the opponent with the top of the foot. One's goal would
be to make front torso contact with the kick, while avoiding leaving one's self open to a counter
strike. The movements that comprise the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

However, because the primary goal is to achieve optimum velocity, optimum momentum is obtained
through angular impulse. The series of movements before contact with the target attempts a kinetic
chain with an efficient sequence of movements previously noted in the description of the
preparatory phase (Champion, 2002). The internal muscles move first, such as the serape and spinal
flexors and rotators, out to the Gluteus maximus, to the Rectus femoris, transferring the large body
movements from the trunk to the smaller body segments of the foot. If the movements are timed
correctly, one will have maximum speed upon reaching the next movement, until the point of
application (Champion, 2002).
Another valuable aspect to consider is drag, which is a resistance force slowing down the motion of
the leg and foot through the fluid medium, air (Hall, 1999). The most relevant form of drag here is
surface drag, where the size of one's leg and the increased surface area created by the traditional
uniform, in addition to its texture play prominent roles in decreasing the velocity of the kick.
Once the kick has been executed, impact must be taken into account. The result of the impact of
one's foot with the opponent's front

The Production of Sesame in Ethiopia Essay examples
Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), is probably the most ancient oilseed known and used by man
(Weiss, 1983). The cultivated sesame belongs to order Tubiflorae, family Pedaliaceae; about thirty–
seven species have been described in to the genus sesamum, but only Sesamum indicum has been
recognized as a cultivated species (Getinet et al. 1998). Even though the origin of sesame is still in
debate, Mehra (1967) and Mahajan (2007) considered Ethiopia as the origin of cultivated sesame.
Bedigian (1981) argues that, owing to the wide genetic diversity in East Africa (Ethiopia), it is
reasonable to assume that this subcontinent is the primary center of origin and India would then be
thought of as a secondary center for sesame. Sesame seed, also known as ... Show more content on

Sesame can fit well with other summer annuals in a crop rotation, but may be sensitive to some soil
persistent herbicides. Sesame reportedly can provide some improvement in soil tilth or structure due
to extensive rooting. Sesame must also be planted shallow, depth of planting varies with soil type
and soil moisture from 3 to 5 cm under row planting 10cm and 40cm between plants and rows is
recommended respectively. Uniform depth and seed rate are essential for good stand establishment
resulting in maximum yield (Geremew et al., 2012).
In Ethiopia, sesame grows well in the lowlands either as sole crop or intercropped with millet or
sorghum (Mesfin et al., 2004). Sesame is very drought–tolerant it has been called a survivor crop,
with an ability to grow where most crops fail. It has a significant role to the Ethiopian economy as it
is used for local uses (local oil extraction, soups and mixed with sugar), export market and as a
source of employment opportunity. Ethiopia has high quality sesame seed cultivars suitable for wide
range applications, in particular the Humera type sesame is appreciated worldwide for its aroma and
sweet taste (Wijnands et al., 2009).
Currently, In Ethiopia the major sesame growing areas are located at the remote part of the country
bordering the

Winter Wheat Research Paper
Stichler and Livingston (1999) previously stated that a major advantage of winter wheat compared
with other small grain species that could be grown for winter forage production is its excellent
tolerance to abiotic stresses including cold and drought. In addition, wheat forage has relatively high
nutritive values including high protein, energy values, minerals, and low fiber concentrations,
compared with barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), oat (Avena sativa L.), and rye (Secale cereale L.)
forages. Generally, forage yield of winter wheat from late November to early March is more
consistent and productive than that of the other species (Denman and Arnold, 1970; Watson et al.,
1993). Bockus et al. (2001) and Watson et al. (1993) mentioned that susceptibility of winter wheat
to Hessian fly [Mayetiola destructor (Say)], leaf rust (incited by Puccinia triticina), and several virus
diseases could be obstacles for successful winter forage production, especially in early planted
regions. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Prasad and Power (1997) and Sparks (2003) reported that soil acidity caused by the nitrification
process, organic matter decomposition, and acid rain has been a major limitation for winter forage
production in the southern Great Plains. Therefore, development of winter wheat varieties tolerant to
acidic soil and high Al concentration is one of important goals for the winter wheat breeding
programs, especially in the southern Great Plains (Johnson et al.,

Using Resistant Soybean Cultivar And Crop Rotation
Soybean cyst management tactics include different method from place to place, but all have the
common method of using resistant soybean cultivar and crop rotation and these are found to be
more effective than others.(Niblack et al., 2003, Schmitt et al., 2004). Lotus japonicus is one of the
important model leguminous plant to study the interaction and compatibility of plant parasitic
nematode to cause infection (Lohar & Bird, 2003). There are large number of resistant soybean
cultivar to SCN and most of the resistance is derived from the PI88788 and other PI548402 and
PI437654 and grower are also encouraged to do crop rotation along with the use of these cultivar
because of continues planting of the same variety supports the pathogen to changing the race for
overcoming the resistance (Niblack, 2005, Tylka & Mullaney, 2002). Only occasional planting of
SCN resistant without any rotation allow to reproduce aggressively in resistant line because of
selection pressure allowing changing the race to overcome resistance (Young, 1998, Young &
Hartwig, 1988, Young, 1984) Annual ryegrass, Lolium multiflorum residue is found to be effective
to reduce the H. glycines population by increasing the hatching of eggs of nematode in the absence
of host and depletion of lipid reserved in juvenile and decreases the parasitism of the pathogen.

The Planting Of Cover Crops
CROPS – summary
1. Planting of cover crops is a process of non–cash crops intend by farmer to grow purposely to
protect and improve in–between the time of crop production. It is an easy way to revitalize the
fertility of the soil for other subsequent plants growth. Crops duration time are varied from monthly
and years depending on its objective and approach adopted. It is usually planted in vacant space and
adds to the fertility of soil after they grow instead of being eaten up. They add a number of
advantages to a waste space in the off– season gardening.
The reasons why cover crops are usually used are: 1). Cover crops are usually used in arable

The types and growth influences how much nitrogen is captured and released when nitrogen shows
higher availability to follow crop. Ii) It improves soil structure when cover crops help open up soil
and access to water and nutrient can be improved. Iii) Cover crops supply ground cover for the risk
of soil erosion by water or wind, in this case there is possibility of reduction in erosion risk. Iv).
Habitat creation which enables cover crops to provide a winter cover and habitat for wild birds,
insects and small mammals, and this provides grazing opportunities for wildlife. v) Nutrient losses
are reduced – cover crops reduce soil run–off lessen the loss of phosphate fixed to soil particles.
This also reduces nitrate leaching and losses of nitrate and nitrate and nitrous oxide. Vi). Weed and
pest management – most of cover crops type normally contend with range of weed and assist to
provide a clean seedbed for crops. Lastly, water quality are improved and benefited cash crops, this
reduces losses of nutrient, sediment and pesticides. It impacts on water quality and habitats when
the soil run–off is in high level nutrient and cause choking to other aquatic life.
The constraints on cover crops affecting cover crops are: the accountability of labor overheads and
the cost of cover crops purchases, the time available to plant is

Community Observation Report
Community service is services volunteered by individuals or an organization to benefit a community
or its institutions. My favorite community service job that I completed was located at The Junior
Achievement at the Atlanta Discovery Center. The objective of this service was to teach children
how to survive and succeed in the world economically through the use of time, talent, cooperation,
and education. Before they came to the center students were trained by their teachers to budget
money and to spend it wisely. So when they finally arrived, a real life model was presented to them.
With the compelling volunteer and student interaction, we helped each student understand the
theory to life and also understand the differences between needs and wants. The building was set up
with different mini department stores like Chick–fil–A, Publix, philanthropy shop, SunTrust bank,
home/apartment agencies, automobile shop, Belk, Kaiser Permanente, and AT&T. These shops were
to help the students understand manage the differences between what they really need and what they
really want. In addition, the goal was to also help build character and skills to make it in the fast–
moving real world. Before the volunteer work began the director of the center sat us in the room and
trained us, with the use of a PowerPoint on the tasks that we would be performing. First, she
assigned us a store, and some people had to share stores because some jobs involved printing. I was

The Article By Letting Clare
Amy Trauber introduces the article by letting Clare, one of the subjects in her research tell her first
hand account of her daily routine as a sustainable farmer in Central Pennsylvania, and the
challenges she faces in a male dominated work space. Clare says "I get up early, eat breakfast and
start picking blueberries for market at six o'clock. After picking for a couple of hours, I wash, sort
and package blueberries to sell at the farmer's market in town. After selling all day, I might work a
few hours at my off–farm job since I am there. On my way home, I stop at the top of the mountain
and sell more blueberries out of the back of my car. I feed the lambs, horses, rabbit and dogs. After
dinner I supervise people who come to our house to pick blueberries until dark" (Trauger, 2004, p.
289).
The author proceeds to tell a story using Clare as the central character to introduce the overall topic
of her research. She describes Claire as the well–known 'blueberry lady' who is recognized for the
high quality produce that she and her husband grow on their sustainable farm, and she highlights the
fact that Claire readily identifies herself as a farmer, versus the more traditional role of 'farmer's
wife' making a point that this is a very important distinction. She summarizes Claire's argument
"that in a more productivist, or conventional model of agriculture she would not be recognized as a
farmer" (Trauger, 2004), thus underlining how sustainable agriculture provides a medium

working for people. Another unique aspect of his farm was that he did a lot of seedlings. That way
he could sell the plants as a product. He said he sold his plants to places like Earth Fare, which is
very cool. Another unique thing was the popcorn that he grew. I have never had popcorn right from
the cob, and I would like to try it sometime after hearing the owner talk about it. A new thing that
the owner was trying was chickens. He was talking a lot about growing his own feed for them to

East Tennessee Permaculture: A Case Study
Permaculture is a system of agriculture and society whose design is inspired by patterns observed in
natural ecosystems. As Mollison states: "Permaculture is a philosophy of working with, rather than
against nature; of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless labor;
"[1]. The Permaculture movement began in the 1970's as an alternative farming strategy that seeks
"permanent agriculture". The term evolved to permanent–culture, since the social aspects are
important in the agriculture. The term permaculture goes beyond food production, it is a sustainable
system that provides food, energy, shelter, as well as the social components [2][3].
The Sun is main source of energy in well–designed permaculture system. For instance, plants use
the energy of the sun to produce food. The heat from the sun helps the compost to decompose faster.
Solar stoves, solar lamps and solar heaters help to reduce the energy requirements. The Sun can also
supply the electricity needs of the permaculture farm. The prime objective of this case study is to
analyze the use of the photovoltaic installation in East Tennessee Permaculture research institute. To

The Key Aspects Of Mechanics Essay
These tricks that the top level athletes perform all relate to the laws of physics, every trick has
components of mechanics whether it be performed in a half–pipe or just straight off the ground. The
key aspects of mechanics that are essential for these tricks performed in a half–pipe include Torque,
Momentum, Centripetal force, Velocity, Acceleration; they also need to follow the laws of projectile
motion, conservation of energy. All of these play a role in helping the top athletes perform tricks and
giving them the ability to rotate in the air at will and land safely.
The law of motion is Newton's first law of physics that relates to inertia. This law state that an
object will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion (rotating, moving straight)
unless acted upon by external forces. This and the law, conservation of momentum, explain how the
rotation occurs in the air. If you 're rotating, you 'll keep rotating unless a twisting force, or torque,
acts to stop you. In other words if you 're not rotating, you can 't rotate unless a torque starts you
rotating. Both of these apply to when snowboarders and skateboarders are in the air doing tricks. In
relation to athletes it means that they will stay rotating and moving in an upward direction if it
weren't for external forces such as gravity which helps decelerate them at 9.8ms–2 until they reach a
final velocity of 0ms–1 and other external forces such as air resistance/friction that help slow down

4. Results 4.1. Contribution of PPP to Sustainable NRM in Game Management Areas The PPP's
private sector comprises the director, regional extension coordinator, senior extension officers,
extension officers (chiefdom level) and chiefdom area managers. They are responsible for the
business aspect of the PPP model in Lupande GMA. On the public side are registered households
organised in various producer groups around various product lines that include crop farming,
carpentry, gardening, and honey and livestock production. There are no restrictions for any
individual belonging to one producer group to cross and engage in activities of a different group.
For instance, a crop producer can simultaneously engage in honey production either at household
level or belong to a producer group producing honey. Membership to any producer group is by
choice. However, crop farming particularly that of maize is compulsory to comply with the PPP's
objective to achieve food security and reduce hunger in their operational areas. Therefore, crop
farming producer groups overseen by respective lead farmers are relatively more active in any given
year. Private actor efforts begin with conducting sensitization programmes focusing on the
importance of conservating natural resource and benefits of conservation farming (CF) to all public
actors at producer group level. PPP registered farmers (public actors) are encouraged to practice CF
practices including minimum tillage, pot holing–deeper

Land that is coming out of CRP works great to be put right into raising organic crops, because you
donít have to wait for three years to change to organic. If you donít have land that is coming out of
CRP or something like it, then you will have to go through a three year transition period. There are
sometimes markets for these crops, but otherwise they have to be sold like regular crops. Iowa State
University says that, ìIn Iowa, the Natural Resource Conservation Services offers organic farmers
$50/acre during their transition to organic farming.î (May 2002)
The biggest problem people have with organic farming is weed control. You canít use chemicals, so
it has do be done mechanically. Farmers use different tactics to try and control weeds, like delaying
planting until the ground is warmer and using the crop rotations helps out tremendously. One tool
that farmers can use is a flamer to get rid of weeds. According to Bowman, ìFlames from LP–gas
burners kill plants by rupturing cell walls, not burning plant tissue. Flaming is most effective on
broadleaf weeds as small seedlings.î (1997)

Proso Millet as an Alternative Crop Essay
Proso Millet as an Alternative Crop
Proso millet, Panicurn miliaceum (L.), is a warm season grass that is capable of producing seeds
within a short growing season of 60 to 100 days (Boland, 2003). Proso millet possesses many
unique characteristics that make it a promising alternative cash crop for the Great Plains region of
United States. There is much potential for beneficial results if proso millet is further integrated into
the cropping scheme of the Great Plains. Reasons for looking further into proso millet include
benefits in crop rotation with wheat, and its characteristic ability to be used to produce ethanol, as
well as other products.

Proso millet is effective at helping control these grasses because proso millet does not occupy the
same growing season as these weeds, unlike winter wheat. Putting millet into a wheat/fallow
rotation makes it possible to produce two crops in three years. Proso millet requires little water, and
has fairly low nutrient requirements. Studies have shown that proso millet starts to produce seed
after utilizing as 6 inches of total water, as opposed to the 9 to 10 inches of total water use before
wheat beings seed production (Baltensperger). The main nutrients that may be lacking for proso
millet production are nitrogen and phosphorus (Blumenthal). It is recommended that a soil nitrogen
test be conducted every year before planting proso millet and that a soil test for potassium,
phosphorus, and micronutrients be done every three to five years (Blumenthal). Fertilizers should
then be applied accordingly to the results of the soil tests. Insect and disease problems are not very
high in proso millet (Baltensperger). Weeds, however, can be a problem in proso millet, and can
cause drastic reductions in yields. The herbicide combination that is used most often in proso millet
production is Banvel and 2,4–D (Baltensperger). Atrazine, which was used extensively in proso
millet production, is no longer labeled for use with proso millet, which has increased the amount of
management and money required to produce proso millet

Personal Narrative: My Sustainability To Me
Sustainability to me is a systems ability to continue to operate using its own resources. Most often
this word seems to be used when discussing the environment. For example, soil sustainability.
Modern farming techniques are literally sucking the nutrients out of our soil. The second law of
thermodynamic states energy is neither created or destroyed in a system. Specifically, an isolated
system such as our planet. There is and was a certain amount of energy in every field. When that
energy is gone its gone until replenished. This can happen by organic matter decomposing on it, rain
can bring nutrients, etc. The point I'm getting at is or planet cannot be abused. The things we have

Biodoxics In Sports Biomechanics
When the human body moves during regular movement or during athletic performance, the
movements can be scientifically broken down and analyzed by biomechanics based on a number of
different analytics. Some of the most common analytics being evaluated are power, torque, joint
actions, linear velocity, and angular velocity. A person in recovery from an injury or a professional
athlete will often have their movements analyzed using the previously mentioned criteria to
determine improvement in performance. This assignment will explore the importance of those
biomechanical topics and how they are applied in sports biomechanics.
In order to begin defining the terms that are listed above, others topics need to be briefly introduced,
as the human body and its movements are extremely complex and interconnected. Work is the basis
of all body movement, without work movement does not occur. In his 2013 textbook Biomechanics
of sport and exercise, P. McGinnis explains that "work is the product of force and the amount of
displacement in the direction of that force (it is the means by which energy is transferred from one
object or system to another" (p. 116). Force is another basis for all of movement, both living and
not. P. McGinnis defines force as a push or a pull which is exerted by objects on other objects
(McGinnis, 2013, p. 19). When exerting a force on an object, the muscles in the human body
contract which result in a "pull". The rate at which muscles contract determines the

Essay On Importance Of Community Service
Importance of Community Service
Community service is an important component of a business's social responsibility. Everyone
belongs to a community, and it is our moral obligation to help those who cannot take care of
themselves. Providing these citizens with food, medical assistance, clothing, and shelter helps keep
the community safe and healthy. In addition, people will be less likely to commit crimes in order to
gain basic necessities if they are offered help instead. By giving back to the communities they are
located in, businesses can improve their image and gain the respect of local citizens. Therefore,
community service can be a very profitable business venture. People can develop several important
business skills through community service, such as teamwork, leadership, communication, and
problem solving. Community service can also be an excellent way for individuals to network with
others and discover new business opportunities.

Animal Farm's Utopian Society
Animal Farm's Utopian Society Animal Farm by George Orwell is a novel detailing a farm's
revolution as the animals fight to take back what is theirs and keep it for themselves rather than

things they do is set up a list of seven commandments to provide structure to their utopian society.
By the end of the book, one realizes that the utopian society the animals set up was riddled with

Utopian societies are unreachable and unattainable, and will surely turn into dystopian societies, just
like Animal Farm. In brief, the society created in Animal Farm was condemned from the first
commandment and the first appointment of its leaders. Trying to live life on a farm without the aid
or contact with humans was illogical in itself. As previously stated, a farm cannot sustain on its own.
The animals were foolish to think it could. The leading of Snowball and Napoleon also led to the
destruction of the farm's utopian society. They couldn't possibly do any good for the farm because
they were too busy arguing at the Sunday debates. All in all, a utopian society is not achievable, at
least not in the near future. Equality cannot possibly be reached because a society needs a leader,
which is against the idea of equality. Everyone also cannot be pleased at the same time because it is
against human nature. Animal Farm never could have been a true utopian society; it was doomed

Evaluation Of Fungicides And Application Timing On Control...
Introduction The blackleg fungus is a major disease of canola and can cause significant losses. An
experiment to evaluate fungicides effect on blackleg was conducted by J.P. Damicone et. al. entitled
Evaluation of fungicides and application timing on control of black leg of winter canola, 2015 at
Oklahoma State University. This study involved evaluation of two fungicides, Proline and
Approach, applied at different times throughout the growing season to gauge their efficacy
controlling blackleg.
Blackleg
Black Leg of Canola Blackleg of canola is a disease that affects canola (Brassica napus) and other
Brassica spp. with the causal agent being a fungus, Leptosphaeria maculans (anamorph= Phoma
lingam). Canola is one of many cruciferous crops that is attacked by blackleg disease and losses
from the disease have been documented for over a century with the disease occurring in every
production area around the world (History occurrence impact, pg. 1).
Symptoms for blackleg include lesions, necrosis, stem cankers, shriveled seeds, premature ripening,
and lodging. When seedlings first emerge they can be killed in a manner similar to damping–off, but
if the seedlings develop past emergence, lesions can develop on both the cotyledons and leaves with
a grayish appearance (History occurrence impact, pg. 1). As the crops get larger, stem lesions called
cankers develop and can restrict water flow causing premature ripening and shriveled seeds (History
occurrence impact, pg. 1). If

I am born and raised in Hong Kong and I have spent most of my life there. Hong Kong is full of sky
scrappers and we seldom see farmlands here. Since the land in Hong Kong is limited, we do not
have large pieces of land for agricultural purposes. Most of our food is imported from other
countries. However, we got a few small farmlands in Hong Kong, but they are mostly owned and
used by households to grow crops and feed on their own, not for sale.
2. What is your connection to agriculture?
Although I am not from a farm, I think I am still closely related to agriculture since my major is
nutrition. As a nutrition major, it is important to know the chemistry of food and plants, the growing
places of crops in the United States, the way farmer grow the crops, the benefits and risks behind
organic crops, the benefits and risks of GMO and the potential food safety problems associated to
pathogens, pesticides, toxicity. Besides, knowing how much crop grown and crop prices can give
me a more complete picture on nutrition. Since food costs and availability influences people's food
choices and their nutrient intake. For example, the high costs for vegetables is one of the reason that

The Benefits Of Organic Farming
Organic Farming for Sustainability The business of organic farming has increased greatly in the last
20 years. The information we have gathered through education and research has created a market for
sustainability and profit. This paper will discuss organic farming, sustainable farming, along with
their characteristics and differences and give a broader understanding of the subjects.
Organic Farming Organic Farming combines both tradition and science to produce crops and
livestock that flourish in the absence of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and hormones. (Diekmann,
2013). The crops produced are grown in such a way that would minimize or greatly diminish any
adverse effects on the environment. The farmers or corporations directing this process are thought to
be dedicated to control biodiversity, to cultivate and preserve a healthy soil and maintain quality
agricultural growing conditions. Another definition describes organic farming as a philosophy and
system of farming that helps maintain ecological awareness of society. (Dunn, Borawski,
Pawlewicz, 2014). It is an objective that enables farmers to grow products in cooperation and unity
with the soil and its environment.

The Sun And Moon Are Not Present Until The Fourth Day
Given that the Sun and Moon are not present until the fourth day, how can it be maintained that the
first three days are days in the sense that we now understand them? Our current day is delineated via
the earth's rotation in relation to the Sun – no Sun, no 24 hour days. Even the passage itself says
this, for it says in Gen. 1:14: "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day
from the night. And let them be . . . for days". It may be objected that, regardless of whether or not
we had a distant object in relation to which we might measure the progression of the earth's rotation,
it nonetheless remained similar to what it is now. But this is by no means clear, for the text itself
maintains that the earth was radically and fundamentally different at that time, being "without form
and void" (v. 2). As such, any claim that the earth's rotation then was similar to what it is now is
based on an assumption: namely, that in spite of the fact that the earth itself was physically different,
natural processes such as its rotation were the same then as now.
This is a rather curious claim to make, for it is one of the primary charges leveled against those who
adhere to other interpretations of the days (and correspondingly, the age of the earth) by those with
whom we are disputing. Proponents of the calendar–day interpretation frequently charge those with
whom they disagree, whether secular scientists or other believers, of assuming that natural processes

Despite the growing demand for organic wheat and oats, a limited amount of research has been
undertaken to solve challenges faced by organic producers. Because crop plants cannot be protected
by conventional pesticides under organic standards, the development of crop varieties with the
ability to compete against weeds and resist infection from disease is extremely important. In reality,
the choice of variety is more crucial in organic than in conventional agriculture since synthetic
herbicides and protectants cannot be used. Only limited efforts have been made to breed small grain
crop varieties specifically for organic farming (Wolfe et al., 2008), even though it has been shown
that in order to optimize performance varieties should be bred specifically for organic management
if the goal is to optimize performance (Baenziger et al., 2011). As a result, organic producers are
forced to choose varieties that were developed and optimized for conventional farming and have
limited access to information on optimal management practices.
This project is expected to produce new varieties of spring wheat, winter wheat, and oat with
improved productivity and end–use quality under organic management. The project will also
provide new practical advice for organic producers about small

The Pros And Cons Of The Industrial Revolution
A series of agricultural advancements were made throughout 18th century Britain that improved
cultivation methods and allowed for more efficient crop production that helped pay off much of the
country's debt and create a more stable and affordable diet for everyone. These improvements paved
the way for many other revolutions to occur such as the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial
Revolution made manual labor much easier through the use of machines. The high demand for the
products Britain was producing called for many workers and machines to meet the need. It created
many jobs and allowed anyone willing to work to make a sufficient living
During the Industrial Revolution many new technologies were made that helped to expedite the
production of goods in high demand. Since Britain was producing these goods at a faster rate they
were able to meet the needs and supply surrounding areas with the goods. Britain was able to make
a good profit off of these goods because of how high the demand was for them. Textiles were one of
the products most requested because the people wanted more clothing options. Textiles were
previously made from woolen cloth until they discovered cotton was more efficient. The more
popular cotton was becoming, the more workers needed, as a result landowners turned to slavery.
Many new machines were created which dwindled the responsibility on the slaves. One of these
inventions is the pulley, it lightened the weight when lifting heavy objects. The

Crop Rotation Kierkegaard Analysis
In the essay "Crop Rotation" from his book Either/Or, Søren Kierkegaard discusses boredom, which
he considers to be "a root of all evil." He argues that "all men are boring" and that we have been
since the creation of man. It is what drove so much of human history and continues to drive us
today. Kierkegaard then goes a step further and asserts that there are two types of "boring" people.
The first is someone who bores others, exemplified in "the plebeians" and "the mass," and the
second is someone who bores himself, "the elect" and "the nobility." The people that don't bore
themselves, he argues, are people who are constantly busy, and that is why they are so boring. The
other type, which he calls "the superior ones," amuse others but bore themselves. "The more
profoundly they bore themselves, the more ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Forgetting is an art that few people use properly. "Forgetting is the shears with which one clips away
what one cannot use.." writes Kierkegaard. Forgetting effectively can combat boredom and "prevent
one's sticking fast in some particular circumstance in life and ensure perfect suspension," but other
distractions from effective crop rotation still exist. Kierkegaard writes that "one must be on one's
guard against friendship." Friendship, marriage and other social commitments distract from crop
rotation because they get boring. After falling in love, lovers have no direction to go but down, since
marriage comes with responsibility is ultimately boring. Kierkegaard writes that the married couple
"have everything to lose and nothing to gain." Successful crop–rotators will not get married or
pursue any social obligation too fervently. The goal is to be able to be interested in anything, like the
prisoner in solitary confinement. An aesthete needs more and more; a good crop–rotator does not.
This is called arbitrariness, something Kierkegaard thinks we should strive
