Getting Exposed to Sunlight: A Few Rays (Part 1)

One of the greatest divides in today's society is that between the agricultural society and the rest of the population. Today, it seems that the gap continues to widen and the average American is more likely to subscribe to untruths and rumors than get to the root of a source to learn the facts.

The agriculture industry faces this problem more than any other industry out there. Many Americans don't know where their food comes from, and instead assume it comes from dirty, unethical corporate farms. Many Americans don't understand the science and benefits of genetically modified crops, but believe that they are harmful.

But hopefully, one day that will change. That's why blogs like this one exist. Everyone in the agricultural industry is an advocate for the education of the general public about the industry that is the backbone of the world.

Below is a video taking a quick look at one of the spokes in the giant wheel of the agricultural industry: dairy farming.

For more information about dairy farming and related topics, go to http://www.uddertruth.org/ and give the seed in your mind more nutrients to grow on.

Animal farming is not the only part of the industry to come under fire. Recent technological advances have given us an insight into the genes of some of the crops that are a staple in the United States market, as well as the market here in Kansas. The next post will look into the crop production side of the most common misconceptions, as well as the involvement of big corporations in the heated debate about GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms).

Until next time, keep the seed growing.
