MTL - America’s Road To Wealth-Chapter 7 farmer life

  Chapter 7 Farmer's Life

  In the United States, there are about 2 million people engaged in agriculture.

   These 2 million people can provide more than 85% of the country's daily agricultural and livestock products.

  Corn, soybeans, wheat, milk, and beef all come from major farms and pastures.

  Not only can it satisfy most of the markets in the Federation, these agricultural and animal husbandry products are also exported to all over the world.

  According to this logic, the American farmers in the imagination of outsiders must have a particularly good life and belong to the wealthy class.

  But the real situation, many of these farmers are even as hard as the rural life in the Chinese Dynasty.

  Most of the farmers and their families, at five or six in the morning every day.

  The labor force of the family is about to get up and start working.

  Usually older children need to help their parents feed cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, while the father has to check and refuel the tractor, and the mother has to be responsible for breakfast.

  After breakfast, the children go to school, while the father drives the machine to plow, sow, spray, irrigate, harvest, etc. in the field, while the mother milks the cows non-stop.

  If it is not the busy farming season, parents have to go to work.

  After school, the children continue to help their parents feed the poultry.

  After dinner, the father will sort out and check, and the mother will milk the cow for the second time.

   Such a busy day sometimes lasts until late at night, and the cycle continues every day.

   This is the daily life of an ordinary American farmer's family.

   Most of the land is under three hundred acres, and this is the life lived by family-owned farm families.

   It is not as easy and free as outsiders imagined, and highly mechanized does not require manpower.

   To put it simply, farmers who rely on the land for food cannot do without hard labor output.

   Only in comparison, there is a relatively complete agricultural machinery system, as well as a well-developed chemical fertilizer and irrigation system. The production efficiency of American farmers is very high.

   But no matter how high it is.

  Because a farmer in the Celestial Dynasty generally took care of four to five acres of land without machinery.

  The United States has a variety of agricultural machinery and a complete system.

  An American farmer tends to about fifty acres of land.

  Of course, in terms of income, it is natural that the United States beats the peasants of the Celestial Dynasty.

   After all, the per capita land area cannot be compared.

  However, none of the above has anything to do with Abel.

  Although he is a Texan from a farm family.

   But his family's farm, several generations ago, has been out of the scope of the family business.

  In more than fifty years ago, Smith Farm had already registered the company.

  This company has been in operation for more than 50 years, so Smith Farm is actually the land under the management of a "Smith Agricultural Company".

   To put it simply, his family can already be regarded as a big farmer.

   It is not as good as those giants who occupy tens of thousands of acres, but it is also much better than the life of 99% of American farmers.

  This can be seen from Smith Farm, which can employ more than 50 farmers.

  Of course, large scale is large, and corporate is corporate.

  Some farm work, Abel also had to do when he was little.

   And his parents are also two good hands in farm work.

   Ms. Emily Smith, even a multiple-time winner of the Tarrant County Shearing Competition

   It's just that they don't live so hard like ordinary farmer families.

   So when Abel came back, his father, Alexander Smith.

  I am building a new kennel with a few migrant workers in the farm kennel.

  Smith Farm has more than 180 dogs.

  So many dogs, most of them are herding dogs.

Under normal conditions,

  A bred shepherd or cattle dog.

  Can take care of about 30-40 sheep, or about 20 cattle.

  Cooperating with cowboys, about 100 adult shepherd dogs can already take care of 3000-4000 cattle and sheep.

  Smith Farm has more than 180 dogs, except for some small dogs, most of them are big dogs.

  That’s because the kennels at Smith Farm will be sold to the public in addition to their own use.

   It also participates in various dog competitions in Texas every year.

   Occasionally win an award.

   Throughout Tarrant County, the Smith Kennel is well known.

  Nearby farms are willing to come here to buy dogs.

  The dog culture in Texas is very prevalent, and almost every household has a dog.

   Here, the dog is mostly a tool.

  A large number of ranchers and farmers in Texas need them to graze and guard their homes.

but

  There is a Dog Meat Festival in Texas!

  Texans love both live and well-known dogs.

  Secondly, eating dog meat is legal in 44 of the 50 states in the United States.

   There are dog meat festivals in 13 states.

  The most famous of these are Kansas and Texas.

   "Tighten the board. Hey, what about you, David. Your screw is loose!"

   "You can't do this. Such a dog shed will freeze my little ones to death in winter!"

   "And you, Johnson. You put the boards upside down. The white side is on the outside and the black side is on the inside! They like to sleep in black, just like us! Stupid!"

   "Here, take this board. Use it for the roof."

   "Fool, come on, tighten up here."

  “.”

  In the kennel,

   While in charge of supervision,

  At the same time, I will hand over a tool,

   Or Alexander Smith handing a board.

  He laughed and cursed at the workers who built the kennels and the farmers.

  Most of the time, the attitude is harsh and harsh.

   No way,

  If there is no supervision, or the supervisor's attitude is softer.

   These **** really dare to mess with you.

   On the farm, Alexander has always been like this.

  When you are generous, you are very generous, and when you are stingy, you are stingy.

  When working, he is extremely strict.

   Even seeing the image of a farmer who is dissatisfied and beats people up.

  Who are these Texas farmers? Generally, those with the highest education have only finished public high schools.

  Many never even attended public high school.

   Most of them have hardly left Texas in their entire lives, and many have never even been to big cities in Texas such as Dallas, Houston, and Austin.

  Facing such low-level white people,

  You are polite and polite, you are playing the piano to the cow.

   Only if you are so simple and rude, even a little bit cruel, can you make them work for you obediently.

  This is why MAGA Wang’s tweets have always been very straightforward.

  If the wording is a little more complicated, the audience of MAGA King will not be able to understand it at all!

  Alexander kicked a lazy worker who didn't dare to resist, and he was about to curse.

  A mocking voice sounded behind the farmer.

   "Hey. Alexander, so fierce. Watch out for George to go to the county to sue you for personal injury."

  Alexander was furious when he heard this, and shouted loudly without turning his head:

   "Hey, you let him go. Look at Harland, dare you summon me to the court!"

   Harland is the chief judge of the Tarrant County Court.

  The migrant worker named George who was kicked was not angry, but responded with a smile:

   "Not me. Judge Harland will get me in first."

   "It's good to know. Hmph, then hurry up!" Alexander turned around after finishing his harsh words.

   Then he smiled and looked at the person who said this.

   Two people stood behind.

  One was his beloved wife, Emily Smith.

  The other one is his great guy.

  Alexander shouted happily to his great boy.

   "Boy, are you back?"
