My Experience Of Taking The Agricultural Leadership And Agronomy

The three farmers whom this paper has taken a look at are all interesting, they face their own problems, many of which are different, yet so very similar. The film "Farmland" is a phenomenal way to get the story of agriculture out and start eliminating the farming stereotype. "Farmland" is a wonderful film, with a ninety-two percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Whether they are facing the weather, working on their own, or working with bad crops for their animals, they will

During the years you are a FFA member, you probably will be asked "What does the FFA mean to you?" or "What is the goal of the FFA?". Most everyone will say "to have fun" or "to be a part of agriculture". However, there is a much deeper meaning and goal to what the FFA really is. The FFA creed speaks of every goal, idea, and belief of American Agriculture. This tradition of Vocational Agriculture has been passed down and memorized by every Greenhand in the country. It tells of the pessimistic future of agriculture, teaches leadership along with respect, and encourages you to make a positive influence on your community. These few ideas are what makes FFA strong, and able to thrive in this nation. The FFA

Being in this group project has not only opened my eyes about the different careers in Agriculture but it has also expanded my knowledge specifically in plant science.

The Farmland film is a documentary that is narrated by farmers itself describing the love and passion they had into the farmer’s life. Many of them come to be second generation of farmers that their main focus is to continue the legacy, time, and effort put in to their farms, by fighting the odds, and tight moments. They produce food, (vegetables, cattle, hogs, chickens, and cattle feed) that is a procedure of not always is has a positive outcome. They depend a lot into the state of the soil, machinery, weather, and market to be able to make a profit of their efforts, to be able to start again the next year.

Many see agriculture as growing food and feeding cows, but to me that is only the picture of it. Agriculture is full of men, women, and children, who have learned and are being taught the principle of hard work. By growing crops and raising animals, I have begun to learn and apply that principle.

I recently did a Food for America project, which is a project on basically anything having to do with agriculture, presented to children in my town and too many others. For my project I chose to do Shribers Foods. If you don’t know, Shribers is a company that makes dairy products all over America. Shribers was even kind enough to donate some cheese to my group as samples for the children to whom I presented. That is an excellent example of how adults can help out. I’d like to connect FFA and Young Farmers Farm Wives of America, because if everyone grouped together we could make Food for America bigger and better each year, by having more things to see, especially things the FFA students don’t have or couldn’t acquire, but that could be brought in from the young farmers to do a presentation over, then more education is spread to the younger generation.

We walked the farm seen the animals and crops that were there and learned the ways of having a traditional organic farm the benefits from it the proper ways that one type of plant can in effect have a dramatic effect in the sustainability of another and how there in ways interdependent on each other examples are that one plant has a natural repellant for insects that in effect can help the other plants that are effected by that insect to how the trees and bushes are grown in a way that actually gives the other plants shade from the sun. We learned about the organic feeding that the animals are given and the free range that they have so that the animals have no stress upon them as David says that the only time that they are under stress is when they are about to processed for slaughter. Michael Pollan discusses this in detail in the book expressing that this is in fact that sustainable farming is farming type that was common place in the 60s and now in modern times is making a comeback due to consumers being more aware of the foods and want to ensure the purity and health implications on their food

The National Postsecondary Agriculture Students organization was established in March of 1980 by Draft Bylaws and is designed to meet the needs of college students in agricultural related fields (PAS, About PAS). From there it has continued to grow and developed. What once started out as a small organization has now expanded to having a total of approximately 1,400 members from 62 chapters located in 18 different states (PAS, About PAS). This organization is made available to students in approximately 650 institutions located in all 50 states (PAS, PAS Handbook). Part of the financial support comes from the membership fees that are paid either by a chapter or an individual basis (PAS, About PAS).

The only downfall from this timely conception is the damage to the soil if the crops are not rotated every few years. Berry speaks about the fact that some individuals focus on the production of crops instead of the health of their land; this irresponsibility causes problems for the environment. Berry states, “Once one’s farm and one’s thoughts have been sufficiently mechanized, industrial agriculture’s focus on production, as opposed to maintenance, becomes merely logical…The farm and all concerns not immediately associated with production have in effect disappeared from sight” (Berry, p. 2, p. 3). Some of America’s Society do not care about the consequences of constantly harvesting. Instead, people concern themselves with meeting the supply and demands. Berry expresses his views about soil science and its uses of replacing the lost nutrients from the overuse of the land.

Caron Almquist, fall agriculture chairperson for the CWA said the hosting of the event to small students became a helpful and effective way to teach them about the foods

Throughout the school year and during the summer, March Farms offers field trips to elementary, middle, and high school students to educate them on the importance of farming, and the history of March Farms. March Farms also works with UCONN students to address problems concerning agriculture and their farm, and possible solutions to these problems. They also like to educate adults during tours about the farm and their innovations and ecologically friendly farming

Attending the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University has always been a goal for me in pursuing my target of becoming a nutritional scientist. I grew up in traditional Chinese education, the first poem I learned is called “Commiseration for the Peasants” written by Shen Li. This poem conveys the idea that foods don’t come easily, people should respect the work of farmers. This really connects to me because both my grandparents and my aunts are farmers. I had once experienced their job when I was a third grader in elementary school. This experience let me set my mind of studying agriculture.

Plants have surrounded me my whole life. I see gardening relaxing and beautiful in a weird way. To see a seed transform into something beautiful like a rose or a daisy is extraordinary. I'm passionate about plants and this shows that I will be extra safe and careful with the plants. I know how to take care of plants and will make sure they are in the best shape.

The purpose of this personal assessment is to devalue an incident in which I believe I performed my very best, within my leadership capability, according to organizational policies, and lawful regulatory compliance while protecting cultural competence and our organization from any legal repercussions. Business environment will continue evolve and it is pivotal to the success of the organization that all potential leaders acquire the fundamentals of understanding human behaviors within a multicultural atmosphere. Different situations will arise in which leadership will need to focus on the many aspects of one’s personal beliefs, culture as a whole, and productivity at the least. What is evident is the diversity within
