Persuasive Essay On Animal Farm

Farming has been around since the beginning; therefore, someone and something have been needed to plant the seed, harvest the seed, and work the ground. With the amount of land on the earth, we have always been searching for better, faster, and more efficient way of doing these tasks other than doing everything by raw strength, animal power pulling single row implements, working the ground going one acre of land per hour. So we invented machines. We created the Case International, New Holland, Gleaner, Challenger, and my personal favorite, John Deere. In 2016, there are now sixty-four row planters, seven hundred horse power tractors which can plant going seven miles per hour while planting two hundred acres per hour. Farming has evolved.

Kansas farmers seem to be fairly biased, or at least in our area, when they come to tractors and want the John Deere. Therefore, you have probably been driving down the highway in either the summer time or fall time, and seen a large green machine dragging another large green or red implement. Have you ever wondered what it’s doing, how it works, or simply what is taking place before you? Well, allow me to enlighten you. On our farm, during the summer, we plant corn and milo while wheat is harvested. Then, during the fall, we harvest our corn and milo while we drill our wheat, essentially. There is lots more taking place, but this being the main idea. You have two implements for putting the seed in the ground: a planter and a drill. The planter puts corn and milo in the ground, while a drill puts wheat in the ground. Both of which function in different way, yet essentially carry out the same task. Our sixteen row planter has a working width, or fully opened width, of near forty-four feet, and a transport width, or folded width, of twelve feet, a max planting speed of five and-a-half miles per hour, and a maximum capacity

There is so much more playing into a farm than just the planting, though. We merely scratched the surface of what a farm truly is, but I will save the bigger picture of a farm for another time, place, and paper. Anyways, planting is an important process in how a farm operates, it takes from your paycheck in hopes that you will multiply and make more than you did the first time. The basic concept of a farm really couldn’t exist without a seed first being planted. From all the hard labor, the times when going out and simply throwing seeds on the ground was how farmers planted their fields, to now using forty-four foot implements, and even they are thought of as small compared to all the brand new equipment. Faming has been and is always growing and evolving and changing. Even the methods used two hours ago are probably old now, but that is what always makes the world of farming so interesting and fun for me. All the variables, the tips and tricks, all the hard work, late nights, and early mornings are all worth it to me when you get to see how it all paid off in the
