2. What are the various methods used to protect sensitive crops from damaging low temperatures? Explain why each method works.

O’Reilly Automotive is one of the largest specialty retailers of automotive aftermarket parts, tools, supplies, equipment and accessories in the US. The company sells its products to both do-it-yourself (“DIY”) and professional service provider customers, or do-it-for-me (“DIFM”) (O 'Reilly Automotive, Inc. , 2015).

The weather has an impact on the procurement of grains and makes it very volatile.  In 1990 a poor harvest contributed to low inventories and sales volume.   Willis

Farming in the Texas Panhandle is a lifestyle. Corn is one of the largest produced crops in the world and in the panhandle. It is a lot of families’ lively hood. These families grow many crops, but corn seems to be one of the most popular. In order to grow corn, they need water, but with the recent drought, these families have been struggling to find alternative methods to produce high yields. Everything from simply just changing their crop to something that needs less water to scientist engineering new breeds of said crop so that it can flourish with less water. In this paper I will cover some of these methods and hopefully give an insight to what these farmers are dealing with on a daily basis.

With the drought targeting the agricultural community in California, many farmers are starting to research more ways on how to become drought efficient. The two common methods of farming are organic and conventional. Different farming methods have their own way on affecting the public health and the environment through herbicides and pesticides. Some of the benefits of organic technologies are higher soil organic matter and nitrogen, lower fossil energy inputs, and conservation of soil moisture and water resources (Pimentel and Hepperly 2008). Conventional farming can be more ecological by adapting some of the organic technologies. The objective of this literature review is to better understand the problems that arise from being in a drought, the water supply, and how farmers are adapting to the change in climate.

The current four year drought in California could threaten an increase in supply costs due to crop shortage and increased costs to farmers for crop production. One solution to this issue may be to raise the crop to supply the required ingredients.

 Changes in global weather patterns has resulted in more crop failures and sharply higher

As you know Dominion Dealer Specialties is now an approved partner for CDKs Third Party Application (3PA) program. Part of the 3PA program includes using approved methods to ensure visibility and confidence in the exchange of data for dealers using a CDK DMS. This requires dealer authorization on all feeds we have set up on their account.

The farmers have faced many challenges including droughts, and wildfires. With the challenges there are advantages to help prepare for future challenges.

The O.M Scott & Sons Company has had continued success in the grass seed and lawn care industry. The company started in 1868 as a local company in central Ohio, focused on selling grass seed only. The company saw great opportunity in the lawn care industry, so it decided tot take action. O.M Scott & Sons grew into a national company that distributed its products by mail, and eventually sold to retail stores nationwide in 1959. The company was able to grow expanding the company’s field sales force. This increase in sales force led to a continued increase in sales and profits, which allowed the company to invest in R&D more heavily. This increase in R&D led to better products, which further increased sales and profits. The objective was to service the various retailers across the U.S with adequate inventories, especially in the high seasonal peaks. This was difficult for most of the smaller sized dealers the company was selling to, so Scott had to fund the dealer inventory buildup by itself.

For this research assignment, I looked up a company called Hoefler & Co. This company designs and publishes fonts for a huge variety of companies and some of the most famous brands out there toay. Some fonts are created on a custom basis for editorial, institutional, and corporate clients while others are designed for immediate sale to the public. They work with brand leaders in every sector, developing original typefaces for print, web, and mobile environments, and licensing fonts from our library of more than one thousand designs.

The environment in which Armor Seed faces can be grim at times. Companies in the agricultural economy are finding ways to reduce costs in order to survive this recession. Through all of this, the input sector continues to post significant profit margins and high volumes of sales. In this particular area, Armor is what the Boston Consulting Group Matrix would call a “star” because they are experiencing growth from new customers and they have a strong market presence in our area. By including a number of different crop seeds, we can predict that Armor will continue to expand

Over-planting of tobacco causes irreparable damage to the soil and environment (World Health Organization). Bromfield used his knowledge of farming to come up with tactics to prevent the overuse of soil. As mentioned in the other writing assignment, Bromfield devised a plan that involved rotating the crops he planted every three years. This eliminated the need for the soil to be treated chemically, and for crops to be grown during the winter months. In this situation, Bromfield synthesized his farming intellect, business savvy, and a basic knowledge of chemistry to devise this 3-year rotation plan. Bromfield also showed off his planning ability and practical knowledge by doing away with the “Old, square fields” (Bromfield, pp. 56, 1948) and instead “contour around the hills rather than up and down” (Bromfield Year, pp. 56, 1948) the hills like the other farmers

Corn greatly benefit from human intervention. Without the intervention of humans, corn would not be able to grow and thrive in certain areas of the globe. Different types of fertilizers and pesticides have allowed corn to thrive all around the world. Also, the use of pesticides and fertilizers has opened doors for corn to grow in different types of climate and fight off many insects and diseases. For example, in figure 2, one may see the effects fungal disease has on corn. It has made this corn inedible. Next, this disease may spread to other corn within the field or the corn stalk, greatly affecting a certain corn population. With the use of pesticides, corn is able to survive and feed many humans around the globe (PLOS Biology 1). Although pesticides are certainly not good to consume, without them, we wouldn’t have the quantity and quality of corn around the world that we have today (PLOS Biology 1).
