Hay does not need the amount of tractor work other crops do, most hay feilds are natural grasses that are already growing (however, farmers do add in a variety of grasses), hay fields do not need to be sprayed or cutivated pre or post planting. ...

Answer # 1 Inorganic farming uses chemicals to simplify ecosystems. It uses soil fumigants to sterilize soil, herbicides to kill weeds, chemical fertilizers to feed crops, pesticides to control insect pests, and fungicides to control fungal diseases. Most of these chemicals have effects far beyond their intended targets. Fungicides kill beneficial fungi that attack or compete with fungi that infect plants. Pesticides kill parasitoid wasps that control insect pests at low population densities, before they get out of hand, as well as predatory insects...

The Green Revolution was the notable increase in cereal-grains production in Mexico, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, and other developing countries in the 1960s and 1970s. This trend resulted from the introduction of hybrid strains of wheat, rice, and corn (maize) and the adoption of modern agricultural technologies, including irrigation and heavy doses of chemical fertilizer. The Green Revolution was launched by research establishments in Mexico and the Philippines that were funded by the governments of those nations, international donor organizations, and the U.S. government....

Rice is more paler and thinner, the seeds looking more oval (or oblong) in shape than corn. Corn kernels tend to be more yellow, and more squatter, with a parallelogram-look to them, if the kernel is flipped upside down, with the bottom part more curved and smoother. The plants themselves are different: corn is much taller, with wider leaves, and the cobs are located right on the side of the stems. Rice, on the other hand, has much narrower leaves, and the...

Less expensive way, but takes longer: weigh a sample as accurately as possible, then heat at a temperature high enough to drive out the moisture, but not so high as to start to oxidize or burn the corn. Weigh the sample again, then put the numbers into the formula below: Grain moisture content (in % pts.) = ((Beginning weight of sample minus ending weight) divided by beginning weight) times 100 ...
