The highest 10 percent earned more than $113,140. Incomes of farmers change from year to year because prices of farm sales change with weather conditions and other reasons. In addition to earning pay from their farm business, farmers can get government aid or other payments that add to their income and reduce some of the risk of farming. Most farmers work full time. Farm work can be all year around and the number of hours worked may change according to the season ("How Much Money Do Farmers Make on Average Annually?" ). Farmers on crop farms usually work from sunrise to sunset sometimes even after dark during the planting and harvesting seasons.

“And on the 8th day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, ‘I need a caretaker.’ So God made a farmer.” A farmer is someone who can multitask. He can work long hours, raise livestock, till the fields, sow seed for crops, maintain his home, support his family, and still attend a school board meeting that runs past midnight. He not only provides for his family and animals, he provides for the nation. It is proof, based on all these responsibilities, that a farmer is dependable and hard-working.

Modern technology is already being used in agriculture. The best example is the use of gene technology or what’s popularly known as agricultural biotechnology in developing drought and herbicide resistant crops. Through genetic engineering, scientists have been able to introduce traits into existing genes to make crops resistant to drought and herbicides. One good example is the use of Bacillus Thuringiensis, commonly known as Bt. Bacillus Thuringiensis, is a bacterium that dwells in soil. It acts as a reservoir “of cry toxins and cry genes for production of biological insecticides and insect-resistant genetically modified crops.”

Life of people has gone through since the industrial revolution. Lives of people including men, women and children use to be lot different before the revolution and post revolution.
