America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 7 Farmer Life

In the United States, there are about 200 million people engaged in agriculture.

These 200 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, but 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 nourishing life and belong to the wealthy class.

But in reality, many of these farmers are as hard-working as rural life in China.

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

The workforce of a family is about to get up and start working.

Usually the 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 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 the cows, and the mother will milk the cows for the second time.

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

Such is the daily life of the average American farmer's family.

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

It is not as easy and free as outsiders imagine, 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.

It’s just that 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 usually takes care of four to five acres of land without machinery.

And the United States, because there are all kinds of agricultural machinery and a complete system.

An American farmer tends 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, there is no way to compare the area of ​​land per capita.

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 confines of the family business.

Smith Farms was registered as a company more than 50 years ago.

This company has been in operation for more than [-] 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 large 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 90.00% of American farmers.

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

Of course, the scale is large, and the company is corporatized.

Some farm work, too, was done when Abel was a kid.

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 was 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, mostly herding dogs.

Under normal circumstances,
A bred shepherd or cattle dog.

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

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

Smith Farm has more than 180 dogs, and apart from some small dogs, most of them are big dogs.

That's because the kennels at Smith Farm will be sold outside of their own use.

It also participates in various dog competitions throughout 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.

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

Here, dogs are tools most of the time.

There are a large number of ranchers and farmers in Texas who need them to graze their cattle and look after their homes.

But
Texas has a Dog Meat Festival!

Texans love both live and well-known dogs.

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

Thirteen states have dog meat festivals.

The most famous of these are Kansas and Texas.

"Tighten the board. Hey, what about you, David. You loosened the screw!"

"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! Fools!"

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

"Fool, hurry up, tighten up here."

"."

in the kennel,
While in charge of supervision,
On the other hand, 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 bastards really dare to mess with you.

On the farm, Alexander has always been this image.

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

When working, he was extremely strict.

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

Those who call these Texas farmers generally have the highest academic qualifications and have only finished public high schools.

Many didn't even go to 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 by being so simple and rude, even a little 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. Be careful George goes 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 Tarrant County Court.

The migrant worker named George who was kicked was not angry, but responded with a smile:
"I don't. Judge Harland will get me in there first."

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

Then with a smile, he looked at the person who said this.

Two people stand behind.

One was his beloved wife, Emily Smith.

The other is his great guy.

Alexander exclaimed happily to his great boy.

"Boy, are you back?"
