helped the family I lease from take care of the goats and their farm. It takes a special kind of person to care for 30 head of dairy goats. They get milked twice a day and eat a lot.

Farmers grew enough food to support their families and, at times, they grew a small surplus to sell at the local market.” Farmers were under alot of pressure to produce food for Greece.

problems. Tragedy of the commons is an expression that is defined as an overuse of natural resources by each individual until it is used up and ruined for everyone else.

The farmer realizes the maximum amount and will make the right decisions for

A company known as Monsanto has been terrorizing the farm land for many years. This company in all honesty cares nothing about the environment.
