and Weed control experts. Hypothesis If home-made and commercial herbicides are sprayed on weeds then the commercial herbicides will be more effective, because the chemicals are made by experts who know what chemicals kill and prevent weeds. Experiment Fill 2 different boxes and fill then with soil make sure to use the same type and amount of soil. Measure around one cup of grass seed and sprinkle it on the soil. Water the seeds daily until the grass is at least 1.5 inches tall.
I recently headed out to the supermarket; check the labels on about 15 to 20 products. All the products contained some sort of corn sweetener ingredient. Corn is being fed to livestock: dairy cows, pigs, chicken and even salmon at all farms nationwide. Corn is cheaper, and less of a hassle to retrieve animals from the fields. All the available, soft drinks and juices for kids contain corn byproducts.
The USDA also performs extensive agricultural research and collects statistical data for the industry. There are eight types of Farm Subsidies: Direct Payments: are cash subsidies for producers of 10 crops: wheat, corn, sorghum, barley, oats, cotton, rice, soybeans, minor oilseeds, and peanuts. Direct payments are based on a historical measure of a farm’s acres used for production. Marketing Loans: provides large subsidies by paying guaranteed minimum prices for crops. The marketing loan program encourages overproduction by setting a floor on crop prices and by reducing the price variability that would otherwise face producers in open markets.
The sweet potato industry, although a high value industry, is becoming increasingly competitive. This underlines the importance of efficiency in minimising the loss of valuable soil. Large amounts of rainfall can result in the loss of soil on cultivated farmland. The loss of soil does not just affect the farmers it also affects the community The aim of the project was to increase awareness of soil health and to develop the best soil management practices for the Cudgen plateau. Figure [ 2 ] Water Way On the Cudgen Plateau, three adjoining landholders implemented soil conservation measures and strategies.
Plant Growth Investigation The scientific method is a way to ask and answer scientific questions by making observations and doing experiments. The question I was attempting to answer was; what are the effects of different types of water on the growth of grass? My hypothesis was if we water the grass seeds with bottled, tap, and salt water, then the seeds getting the bottled water will grow the best and be the tallest at the end of the experiment because the bottled water doesn’t have the toxins that the salt and tap water will have. We needed a lot of materials to conduct our experiment they were; • 6 Seven ounce cups • Soil • Seeds (20 per cup) • The 3 types of water (Salt, Bottled, Tap) • Graduated Cylinder • Ruler • Pencils • Sharpie • Our chart/packet Our procedure was to first gather all of the materials we needed. We first labeled each cup with what type of water we were going to use.
Cost The cost of developing and testing Tymacin was approximately $32 million. The incremental cost of producing and marketing it is $7.00 per pound. Customers Both hog farmers and cattle ranchers could use Tymacin. Both currently purchase competitive growth hormones and other veterinary pharmaceuticals through independent distributors of agricultural supplies. In most cases, the same distributors carry products for both of these markets.
Harvesting Grain in America in 1930’s It was done with use of different tools by hired crew or neighbors whom worked together to harvest each other's wheat, someone had to keep track of how many days each farmer took. Neighbors paid each other for their labor. One man was a lot cheaper than an entire crew. A cradle is an a tool used to reap grain. It is a scythe with an arrangement of fingers attached to the handle such that the cut grain falls upon the fingers and can be cleanly laid down in a row for collection.
Composting Lab Composting is a natural method of recycling and is essential to maintain healthy soil and a healthy ecosystem. Composting is an economical way of generating abundant natural land. There are numerous varieties of compost containers available to facilitate the growth of greens and gardens. A compost pile is regularly made from fruit and vegetable trash, newspaper and grass pieces, and leaves. Hypothesis: Corresponding to the theory of composting, it is more than possible that a cup filled with organic matter, leaves, water, and soil will be decomposed from at the end of a fourteen-day period, producing and organic mixture rich in nutrients, that will help the nourishment of my garden, and small orchard in my mom's backyard.
6) Repeat steps 2-5 with clay soil and sand. 7) Clean up. Procedure 2: 1) Construct the soil device as shown in Page 2 of the packet. 2) Add 500 ml of top soil into the top of your device. 3) Add 400 ml of water to the top of your device.
It is brought to the husker, and then the cutter, and then the kernels are cleansed and inspected by hand. They are canned and then put into the cooker for about 16 minutes, then sent off to be sold. 3) The parts of the corn that are not used for human consumption are sold as animal feed. 4) 364 million pounds of field corn is grown is the US. Of the eighty million acres of corn in the United States only about 380,000 acres of it is sweet corn.
