I often think as I look across a field that has just been worked with machinery by farmers and all workers, just how much work goes into farming, and how many people are able to have food to survive on the earth...This is only possible because of those tough working farmers!....
Farmers save lives everyday and they often are shown no appreciation for all the goodness their work brings to the people of the world!...
There is absolutely NO reason why anyone in the world should be starving in ANY country/continent, state, city, town---grand or small sized....When there is soil to work up and grow many different vegetables, grains, fruit orchards, land to grow hay, and to have cattle/livestock....
It is very stupid that people are starving when the whole world and all it's continents have land, soil to grow foods to sustain life for all people.....I know many continents cannot grow all things due to the climates/weather, but I know that Agriculture/Farming is something that all continents, countries and people who wish to be farmers can make a go of and be taught, learn, be sufficient at being a good farmer, and growing many crops and having livestock to work and tend to!....
I think that farming is very exciting, wonderful and brings goodness to our earth...we have land, soil, and water, sunshine/rains and the tools, machinery, and can be taught all these ways to a good successful farming life.....
IF you have no access to water, you may have ground water you can bring out of the ground with water wells, and you may be able to irrigate from ponds, lakes, ocean areas...with wheel move piping....
I just adore farmers and all the goodness that farming can bring to the world and all it's inhabitants!....it is good!
I can remember that for many years whenever we would, as a family, till the soil with tractor and plows, I have always enjoyed walking through the freshly tilled ground with NO shoes on as the soil squished between my toes, it always has felt cool and comforting on my feet and FUN!...haha.....AND the peanut fields were just sand soil, just like on the beaches! and those felt so nice, squishy on my feet also, on a very hot day whenever the irrigation water was in the sand...very muddy!...lol....
I have always lived and known the ways of farming and it is a simpler way of life, a good life...more peaceful and you are bringing goodness to the world....you can have a good life with farming, it takes much know how, practice, and a way to get started out farming the right way....so many things to learn....there can be set-backs and those pesky upsets/challenges as with anything in life it takes time, practice and patience!!!
Learning and being taught the new ways of farming and being able to know of the new tools, treatments, machinery is always good to be up-to-date on the newest forms of agriculture...Farming seminars, farming teachers would be good in all areas of the earth so all can be taught good know how.....
there are so many crops people can grow and help people sustain life.Crops such as: Corn, oats/grains, vegetables, fruit orchards, cattle/livestock, peanuts, rye, wheat, cotton, and canola for the oils, I have heard of cotton seed oil, vegetable oils, and peanuts being used for oil like the canola...wow..so many ways to use these plants for goodness.
Fruit orchards may take years to grow, but I say, start planting them and in a few years you can have fruit for purchase, and I think ALL vegetables are always good for anyone to be able to grow and have for purchase..we all need to have vegetables on our plates for a meal.....
Cotton---is a wonderful plant/crop because we can create clothing and many other bedding type materials, anything comforting, cotton is so very pretty and when cleaned you know it is going to work well for creating goodness.....
Corn---how many edible food items can we create with good ol corn??! About a zillion cabillion food items...I enjoy corn in cooking, packaged food items, pop corn, oh way too many to list!
Wheat---for cattle to graze, and we can create breads, flours, and many other items...
AND don't forget Sunflowers...ahh...they are beautiful fields brightly colorful, and you can also create oil with these and good packages of sunflower seeds for those baseball games! ;)
Choosing to grow and harvest any good crop that brings goodness and helps with feeding the hungry all over the world is just wonderful...there may be challenges with farming in certain climates/weather areas..but I know most everywhere in the world you can find something to tend to that brings goodness....
