Always Have Had an Interest in Agriculture

I’ve long had an interest in agriculture. Agriculture is science and the practice of turning rural land into food, using natural forces combined with knowledge gained by human kind to grow and feed humans and animals alike. Agriculture defines Rural America, it is the largest land use, provides a low-impact use of land that is largely sustainable and on-going. Farm land can generally be abandoned, and quickly revert back to full woods and wildland.

I grew up in a small town, I hope to move back there someday, probably once I finally say good bye to New York.
