Another newer and more popular use of forages are as cover crops in between growing seasons.

Project: Agricultural Science Name: Ciara Murphy Farm: Rathconrath Co. Westmeath Livestock: Breed of Cow: On my farm the farmer bred British Friesian Cattle. Friesian cattle are a breed of cattle known today as the world’s highest production dairy animal. Originating in Europe Friesian’s were bred it what is now called the Netherlands.

leaves and break them down into nutrients. The nutrients then go back into the soil where they can be used by plants {8}. Yeast cells can also be used to make alcoholic drinks such as beer and wine. Bacteria can also make cheese, vinegar, compost and silage. Yeast can break down sugars in the absence of oxygen; this is known as fermentation which is the production of ethanol. Fermentation is used to make alcoholic drinks such as beer and wine

Water supply and sanitation in Chile has high levels of access and good service quality. Compared to most other countries.

Sugar beets are most commonly known as a commercial crop grown for sucrose production. Sugar beets and sugar cane are two of the leading factors for sugar in the United States.
