Agriculture is not just for Men

In Africa, agriculture is the backbone of most economies. It employs nearly two-thirds of the population and accounts for an average one-third of the GDP. Women play a particularly important role, as they grow nearly 90% of the food on the continent and usually invest whatever income they earn on their families' health and education.
 Hardly seen but mostly their, women are taking more responsibility in the agriculture industry. We are here, and we are taking charge! Woot Woo!!

Happy Valentines Day!!

Today, is a busy day for horticulture industry. Horticulture is the plants and flowers of agriculture and since it is valentines day that means they are on their toes with orders, and delivers. 189 million stem roses are sold in the U.S. on this romantic day and 1.2 billion flowers are sold throughout the day!! Pretty important huh? 58 millions pounds of chocolate is sold also on this day!! Agriculture is EVERYWHERE :)

Before the 21th century!!

Before the 21th century, society respected farmers because most of them where farmers. Little family owned operations that provided their own with products. Society believed that this was the way of life and raising livestock came naturally and was humane and beneficial. Today the agriculture industry is slandered, disrespect and frowned upon! How can this be so?? These You Tube links will explain it all!

Never Giving Up!

On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Indepence signed, and on Oct. 19 , 1781, the British surrendered at Yorktown. Have you ever wondered how so few colonists defeated the world’s most powerful empire? Determination? Ambition? Independence? Fear of defeat? Intelligence? Strategy? SOMETIMES THE FARMERS WITH PITCHFORKS DO WIN. HSUS has a yearly budget of $120 million and growing. Only 3.64% of that budget goes to help animals across the country . The HSUS does not own one animal shelter, the money they raise goes to lobbying politicians, and advertisements. Spoken by Madison Dobbins!

Infinte Poetenial

I believe in the future of agriculture with a faith born not of words but of deeds.

The very first line of the FFA Creed, its powerful, its inviting and inspirational. What dose it mean to you?!  

Oprah Winfrey

We know her as the "mircale worker" giving out free things to make others happy, finding long lost family member and buying the love of america. I find that very disrespectful, espically when she happens to be basking Agriculture an trying to single handedly RUIN the cattle industry!

Caught with your fingers in the honey jar!

Now most of us have heard of the Humane Society of the United States and from what they are telling you you would believe that when we donate our money to them it is going to save the cats and dogs in the shelter. Wrong. The HSUS(Humane Society of the United States) is trying to shut down all farmers that produce an animal that would go to  slaughter. We have all seen the commercials were the animals are abused, most of that is a lie. I have several facts that need to be heard about the HSUS, these videos help prove my point. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzTzAPYn2AA
