During my final semester in graphic design class, I created the design for a cat in a shirt pocket. Although it was for a class project, I instantly knew I wanted to offer my shirt design to others by making an online store. I named it Poco Pets and have been dreaming up, drawing, and planning it for the past year. Now I have come to Kickstarter to make the shirts a reality. Poco Pets shirts are pocketed tees with a variety of lovable pets chilling in the pockets. Each shirt is…

Genetically modified crops were first produced in 1982 and commercially introduced in 1996. Plants are no longer victim to pesticide use or climate conditions. Farmers in third world countries are now able to produce more crops with higher nutrition levels. Vaccinations can potentially be made and administered as edible substances. While many consumers graciously accepted them due to their possible benefits, others protested their introduction due to a lack of evidence concerning potential risks…

could easily be killed with a different type of herbicide. Another reason people are concerned about transgenic crops is that they could have negative impacts on nontarget species. For example, Bt corn was intended to produce a gene that in itself…

Crop circles, all though there are many unproven explanations, are a result of alien activity or hoaxers. Crop circles are very interesting, crop circles are out in the middle of a field and it is laid down nice and neatly there are no broken crops it is all laid down in a nice neat pattern and you can not tell that humans have been in there to make the crop circles it would be very hard for a human to make the crop circles. Crop circles have all sorts of patterns some are circles some are…

GM crops is a very controversial topic that is being discussed around the world. GM crops are plants that have been genetically altered in order to become more efficient. Having food is very important to human life. We are being presented with an opportunity to improve our health and lives through genetically modified crops. They not only provide a substantial amount of nutrition, they can help us create vaccines, they make it easier to to care of the crops, and they can be improved to create…

GMO Crops May Have Beneficial or Detrimental Effects on Small Farmers Introduction: The United States Department of Agriculture defines a GMO crop as any plant used in agriculture in which a segment of the plants DNA have been genetically modified. This process is done using techniques of genetic engineering. Before genetically modified organisms were know as mainly being altered plants in the publics eye there was research on isolating genes of one species and transplanting it into another.…

force or man made? Crop circles is a natural or unnatural phenomenon that has been appearing in farmers land for decades. Revealing themselves in daylight no one knows for sure where or who is the cause. There have been many speculations and claims regarding their existence. From sanctural causes, to aliens, to man kind, to magnetic fields, and even government authority. Evidence is subverted and conclusions are still not made about these mysterious circles. The earliest claimed crop circle was…

The amount of attention of genetically modified crops and their excessive use in the everyday food has increased in the last decades and with this the concern of the general public to the origin, production, advantages and disadvantages of GM crops (1). In contrast with the natural evolution and spontaneous genetic mutation, GMOs have been genetically modified for and specific outcomes. The selective bred of animals and plants have been produced since the oldest time, manipulating genes to…

impacts on crops, we will look at the effects of such phenomenon as extreme temperature (which may be hot or cold), increased CO2 concentration and the adverse effects of elevated exposure to ultraviolet rays on processes such as transpiration, photosynthesis and pollination to fully evaluate the effects of the global warming phenomenon. CO2 increase is generally very constructive in the growth of crops. It stimulates their growth and yield by enabling the photosynthesis process. Crops such as…

Hedging Crops with Futures Contracts When first introduced to the idea of hedging with future contracts, it can be intimidating to say the least. The jargon of trading, images of Wall street, and complex trading practices come to mind that a farmer with a crop of corn or wheat might never have imagined any involvement with. These images are not what hedging is about, however. Hedging can be reduced to several very basic steps, and once understood it can be a tool that offers great benefit…
