Chapter 7 Farmer's life

In the United States, about 2 million people work in agriculture.

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

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

Not only can it satisfy most of the Federal market, but these agricultural and livestock products are also exported around the world.

According to this logic, American farmers, according to the imagination of foreigners, must have an especially pleasant life and belong to the wealthy class. But the actual circumstances of many of these farmers were as harsh as rural life under imperial China.

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

The family's workforce is about to get up and go to work.

Usually, older children have to help their parents feed the cattle, sheep, chickens, and ducks, while dad has to check and refuel the tractor and mom is responsible for breakfast.

After breakfast, the children go to school, while dad drives the tractor, sowing seeds, spraying, watering, harvesting... in the fields, while mother milked the cows non-stop.

If it's not the peak agricultural season, parents have to go to work.

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

After dinner, dad will sort and check, and mom will milk the cow a 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 farm family.

Most of the land is less than three hundred acres, this is the life of farming families.

It is not as easy and free as foreigners imagine, and high mechanization does not require labor.

Simply put, farmers who depend on the land for food cannot survive without hard work.

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

But it doesn't matter how high it is.

Because a farmer in Thien Trieu usually cultivates four to five acres of land without machinery.

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

An American farmer takes care of about 50 acres of land. Of course, in terms of income, it is natural that America beats Thien Trieu farmers.

After all, the area per capita is not comparable.

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

Even though he is a Texan from a farming family.

But the family farm, a few generations ago, was outside the scope of the family business. More than fifty years ago, Smith Farm registered as a company.

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

Simply put, his family can be considered a large farmer.

It's not as good as these giants who occupy tens of thousands of acres of land, but it's also a lot better than life for 99% of American farmers.

This can be seen at Smith Farm, which employs more than 50 farmers. Of course, big is big, and a business is still a business.

Abel also had to do some farm work as a child.

And his parents are also two people who are good at farming.

Mrs. Emily Smith, even won several prizes in lawn cutting competitions in Tarrant County

They just don't live as hard as normal farming families.

So when Abel returned, his father, Alexander Smith. I'm building a new kennel with some migrant workers in the farm kennel.

Smith Farm has more than 180 dogs.

There are many dogs, most of which are herding dogs.

Under normal circumstances,

A purebred shepherd or herding dog.

Can take care of about 30-40 sheep or about 20 cattle. Working with cowboys, about 100 adult sheepdogs could care for 3,000 to 4,000 cattle and sheep.

Smith Farm has more than 180 dogs, except for a few small dogs, most of which are large dogs.

In fact, Smith Farms cribs will be sold to the public beyond their own use.

He also participates in various dog shows in Texas every year.

Occasionally win prizes. Throughout Tarrant County, Smith Kennel is famous.

Neighboring farms are willing to come here to buy dogs.

Dog raising culture in Texas is very popular and almost every house has a dog.

Here, the dog is first and foremost a tool.

A large number of Texas ranchers and farmers need them for grazing and protecting their homes. But

There's a dog meat festival in Texas!

Texans love lively and famous dogs.

Second, eating dog meat is legal in 44 of the 50 US states.

There are dog meat festivals in 13 states.

The most famous of them are Kansas and Texas.

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

"You can't do that. A doghouse like that will freeze my little ones to death in the winter!"

"And you, Johnson. You turn the board upside down, white side on the outside, black side on the inside! They like to sleep in black, just like us! Stupid!"

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

"Idiot, come on, cut in here."

"."

At the doghouse,

While he was responsible for supervision,

At the same time, I will provide a tool,

Or Alexander Smith holding a sign.

He taunted and insulted barn workers and farmers.

Most of the time the attitude is harsh and harsh.

Are you sure,

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

These bastards actually dare to attack you. At the farm, Alexandre is always like that.

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

When working, he is extremely strict.

We even saw images of disgruntled farmers beating people.

Who are these Texas farmers? Typically, those with the highest education only completed public high school.

Many have never even attended public high school.

Most of them have almost never left Texas in their entire lives, and many have never even been to major Texas cities like Dallas, Houston and Austin.

Faced with such low-level white people,

You are polite and courteous, you play the piano for the cow.

Only when you are too simple and rude, even a little cruel, can you make them obediently work for you. This is why MAGA Wang's tweets are always so simple.

If the expression were a little more complicated, MAGA King's audience would not be able to understand!

Alexander kicked a lazy worker who didn't dare to resist, intending to swear.

A mocking voice rang out from behind the farmer.

"Hey, Alexander, so fierce. Beware George will come to the county to sue you for personal injury.

Alexander was extremely angry when he heard this and shouted loudly without turning back:

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

Harland is chief judge of the Tarrant County Circuit Court.

The migrant worker named George who was kicked was not angry but smiled and replied:

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

"That's good to know. Hmm, then hurry up!" Alexander turned around after finishing his harsh words. Then he smiled and looked at the person who said this.

There are two people standing behind.

One of them is his beloved wife, Emily Smith.

The other is her wonderful guy.

Alexander happily shouted to his eldest son. "Boy, are you back?"
