Blog Assignment #2: Letter

This week I read the letter that was written in the Birmingham Jail by Martin Luther King Jr.  He could write as well as he could speak.  He had a way with his words to really make you think about things.  He made good points in his letter just like he did in his speech and he let them know what his thoughts were.  Martin Luther King Jr. shows how you can just sit there and hope something is going to fix its self, you have to go out and fight for it and take action on it.  He showed how you always have to stand up for yourself and do what you think is right.

On my research project I feel that there is going to be a lot of research out there and that it will take a lot of time to get it all planned out.  I believe that it will be a very good topic as of now for the research because of the information that is out about precision agriculture.  I hope that the future will hold a lot of new technologies that will help out the farming industry and help feed this increasing population.  Crops are going to have to start producing more per acre just to keep up with this increasing population.  One way this can be done is with the technologies of being about to have more efficient row and seed spacing.  This technology just keeps improving and many farmers are using it already so the better the programing gets the more that will be produced and the more farmers that will switch over.

Thanks for reading,

Blog Assignment #1: Precision Ag.

I have decided to research Precision Agriculture for this class's research assignment.  I have decided this because it goes along with my major which is Agriculture Science and I have grown up on a farm all my life and its what I like to do.  Electronics and GPS have really started to be a big part of farming in the last 10 years and I believe in the future that's all there will be.  Some may not like it because of the skilled needed to work on and use the new equipment that has been coming out.  I like using all the electronics though and believe that it is very useful.

I plan on researching for more details that deal with how it is going to affect the future.  I hope to find a good answer on if these new inventions are going to be good or if they are going to start causing trouble in the agricultural fields.

I will be providing artifacts that will tell and show about all the new electronics that have been coming out and what they do to help the farmers.  Some ways I might go about doing that is by using power points and essay papers that explain to the audience on how everything works.  I want to be able to teach others that might not know much about agriculture and help them to understand how everything works.  I might also try to make a webpage with that would include links to different sites that sell or have examples of precision ag. equipment and some general facts about it.

Thanks for your time,
