A Growing Field

This article basically describes the work and lives of people who enjoy farming. Like for instance John Christian spends his day by waking up at 7 a.m. and going out and doing work with his farm. He first starts off by opening up his greenhouses, lets the chickens out of the henhouse, and waters the plants. There is no doubt that this doesn’t really satisfy many plant lovers cause of the low income in the business; it’s a very tough job to do this. Knowing that greenhouses are bad to the environment, many people continue to have them in their farms or near. Farming is just not done by anyone, but by people who enjoy planting and plotting things out. From my perspective, I think it is rather awesome planting vegetables, fruits, and etc. But this is not right for me, but many others enjoy it cause it may have been passed own through generations or they probably have families that own their very own farms. If any one is interested in this study there is a great college that you can take these courses. Michigan State University launched a one-year organic farming certificate program that offers courses in soil and crop management, farm planning, and marketing.

Caring for the big guys

A well known veterinarian named Bob Rednour loves his life of taking care of the bigger animals or simply any animal that is in need of treatment. Rednour graduated form North Carolina State University College of veterinary Medicine. Whom he practices with is his dear friend Meg Johnson. There just not ordinary veterinarians that stay in the office and treat animals, but they love to explore places where they are out of there office. Like Rednour traveled to a farm to help treat a horse; who needed a treatment after the death of her new horse. Veterinarians basically vaccinate livestocks, but the veterinarians also tend wounds, diagnose diseases, treat sick animals, and help with difficult births. Veterinarians usually work 50 to 60 hours a week, but Rednour works 100 hours a week. Rednour would do anything to help animals; he even blocks his social life, only answering the important phone calls. Rednour and Johnson were very lucky cause they got accepted into college, because there are only two most well known veterinarian colleges that give out 1, 000 applications for 70 slots. The average graduates from veterinarian school are 2,700 a year. Many veterinarians love there job and don’t really care for the money.
