Best Answer

Apple farmers need bees to pollinate their apple trees. Where bees have been eradicated by pesticides, more bees, or hand pollination, are necessary for the trees to bear fruit.

How do some farmers accumulate savings?

Farmers grow crops to feed themselves and to sell at market so that they have money to purchase things that they need but can not grow or make for themselves. All people (farmers and non farmers) need to eat and therefore everyone actually depends on what farmers produce for us. The trouble is that farmers have to rely on middle men (merchants) to get their food to the people. It is the merchants that are in the position of making money from the trade. Farmers would benefit themselves by coming together as small communities to decide what to grow, to purchase fertiliser and seeds in bulk and to share in the process of selling their produce, trying to cut out some of the middle men. This will increase their income so that they can save some money - this is how some farmers accumulate savings.

When crops are harvested do farmers get paid minus the price of next years seed?

Not in the US. Farmers are individual businessmen, so they get to choose from which company they will purchase next year's seed. There is no direct connection between the purchaser of this year's crop and next year's seed supplier.


What did the fall in wheat prices cause US farmers to do in the 1920s?

when the war ended it caused the large rates on wheat set up by the government dropped and ended massive purchase from other countries. A "farm bloc" of congressmen joined Congress in1921 to supoort farmers, but the bills they passed in attempt to help farmers such as the McNary-Haugen bill were vetoed by Coolidge.
