Agriculture related topics?

Question

I need to write a speech for junior prepared speaking in FFA. the tpic must be ag related(obviously).

Ideas?

Answer 1

Maybe genetic modifications that are being done to foods and animals, sustainable agriculture, the future of farming (how technology is changing things).  I am an Ag teacher in NC, and you have to be careful with your topic.  The judges are usually pro-farming, so choosing something that would expose a scandal like animal abuse would be a bad idea!

Answer 2

I am a produce broker in southern N J  

our great governor corzine is trying to

eliminate the dept of ag. Farming is one of the major jobs and we are knowen

as the garden state. Jersey fresh fruits

and veggies put most other states to shame. Consider in ur speech please,

the north american trade aggrement,

that hurts prices for farmers in usa,

very very much. Also we have lost 75 percent of growers due to higher fuel

costs, fertilizer, transportation and prices for produce cheaper than it was 15 yrs ago. Many growers sad to say have no kids willing to work or able to work like past generation .The money

and profit is not there anymore.My

friend from high school / been a farmer

4th generation ( happy 4 him ) sad

for the open land,JUST SOLD THE FARM FOR MILLIONS OF $$$$$$$$

More $ than he could make in the next

100 yrs. If u b**ch about the farmer////

don't talk with ur mouth full !!!!!!!
