My greatest contribution to society, in the future, would be to help feed the hungry people of the world. In 2050 we will need to feed an estimated 9.7 billion people. This would mean our agriculture production will need to increase by 100%. It is a goal of mine to help feed all future generations with my contribution to the Poultry Science industry, from my home state. Arkansas is one of the top ranked poultry producing state in the United States of America. This demand for more production means our farmers will need to utilize every inch of land in the most effective way possible, and the birds produced will need to be bigger, healthier, and even more efficient at converting feed to weight ratios. In the 1970’s it took 9 weeks for broilers …show more content…

Web. 5 Nov. 2016. Statistics like these that have motivated me in my pursue of a Poultry Science degree. Broilers are widely produced in Arkansas, 53 out of 75 counties in Arkansas produce broilers. Needless to say the poultry industry is an important aspect of Arkansas and her workers. However, I want to bring more jobs to this natural state, making Arkansas a better place for future generations to live. More than 40,000 jobs are created by the poultry industry, yet Arkansas is a state with significant poverty. In 2015, the U.S. Department of Agriculture in their Economic Research Report ranked Arkansas the worst in the nation in severe food insecurity. Because of this I am compelled to make a difference for my fellow Arkansans. My involvement in my high school’s FFA chapter has motivated me to answer this call. I am an active member of Lincoln’s poultry team. This has given me hands on experience with a fraction of the Poultry Science industry. I have a rather large family, with a total of four sisters, dollars must stretch. Due to this, I did not have much money set aside to fund my

In 1950, it took 68 days to raise a chicken to full size. In 2008, the number of days reduced dramatically to 47 days. This is a result of artificial stimulants and antibodies. Farmers feed chickens corn and other chemicals to make them grow faster so they can make more money for the big companies. The farmers don't really make a profit, are put in huge amounts of debt and are threatened by big name companies if they reveal or say anything they do not approve of.

When I read the essay question, I immediately looked up synonyms for “educated.” There were many words that I expected to see such as “intelligent” and “accomplished,” but there were others that really resonated with me such as “enriched,” “trained,” “coached,” “corrected,” and “developed.” I embraced those words because they more closely describe me, and I would like to consider myself to be an educated person. I truly enjoy learning and appreciate the many opportunities I have had to be educated both in and outside of the classroom. From my perspective, an educated person encompasses much more than good grades and a high ACT score.

It’s always the same after every introduction and a little history lesson about the Christianity of India. The all too familiar question “ Since you’re parents are both pastors, will you become a pastor too?” If I can count there may be around 3,000 times people asked whether I would become a pastor since I will be fourth generation women on my mother’s side that go to seminary. It still confuses me every time why everyone thought I would become a pastor like my parents. Indeed, I come from a long lineage of pastors and missionaries from both of my parent’s families, however, I always felt it is a calling that was more sacred and meaningful rather than carrying on the family name.

The ever-rising cost of farm living is growing exponentially every year, but income continues to decline how do we expect the small farmers to make it? Between new generations, rising cost, the growth of agribusiness, and the advancements in technology we have virtually wiped out all of the family farms we saw 50 years ago. This is no new phenomenon, farmers have always been motivated to “get big, or get out” as President Nixon’s secretary of agriculture Earl Butz said in 1973 (Down on the farm). The farmers of the 21st century have done just that, gotten big. Michael Pollan, a writer of food production and author of bestselling books, blames the government's way to enable the big businesses and forget
