What is meant by this is the fact that seed corn solely as a product has been sold for centuries and has reached its maximum penetration point within the market (given that

Paper Corner in Wheat is a film created by D.W. Griffith in 1909. The film focuses on the three divisions of the wheat market, which was rare at the time because most films during the early twentieth century focused on people. The first division showcases the farmers who grow the wheat. The next division portrays the Wheat King, a wealthy businessman who controls the wheat market. The last division follows the bakery, the place that distributes the wheat, and the consumers who purchase the bread

The world continues to face a wide-scale food crisis. The effects of this crisis reach from the farmers who grow and raise the food to the very system of laws that are in place to govern the system itself. Food giants are reaching deep into their pockets for lobbying in order to take advantage of both the producers and the consumer all in the name of profit. Moreover, farmers are being driven to suicide, and the ecosystem’s livelihood is treading a fine line. Both Michael Pollan and Raj Patel bring

Child labour in business Today, while people around the world are enjoying the chocolate, some children in Ivory Coast and Ghana have to work in the cocoa industry even without pay. These children do not have the ability to accept an education and they are trafficked to do the work. According to the documentary called The Dark Side Of Chocolate, the child labour still exists in the cocoa industry in recent years although the government promised to ban it, and this behaviour is thought as illegal

With recent controversy over the Federal Marketing Order on Tart Cherries, some feel it should be changed or eliminated. The topic has gone viral from a Facebook post generating an astonishing 40,000 shares. The farmer, who was outraged with the order, made it seem as though he had to destroy the oversupply of cherries. Was this even the case? Did he falsify his information? One thing that’s an obvious fact is that the importation of foreign cherries needs to be regulated, especially if domestic

Toward a Recovery of Nineteenth Century Farming Handbooks While researching texts written about nineteenth century farming, I found a few authors who published books about the literature of nineteenth century farming, particularly agricultural journals, newspapers, pamphlets, and brochures. These authors often placed the farming literature they were studying into an historical context by discussing the important events in agriculture of the year in which the literature was published (see Demaree

of what you are doing. This can be used through a comparison of communist using military force in order to remove those who refuse to follow their demand for change, and the government using their economic power to force farmers to improve their farming techniques. In a “Free Market” the most successful becomes the richest. To those who could not

Do you think it’s fair that one farmer had to settle (say he was guilty) because that was cheaper than trying to fight Monsanto’s lawsuits? Why or why not? The fact that the farmer had to settle because he couldn’t afford fighting the lawsuit is extremely unfair. However, I don’t think it is a good decision.
