engineering to alter their DNA. This is used to introduce a new trait to the plant which doesn’t occur naturally such as resistance to certain diseases, insects, environmental conditions, decreases the likelihood of spoiling, increases resistance to herbicides and/or pesticides, or improve the overall crop. Unlike cross fertilization process, genes that have been genetically modified are inserted directly into the DNA of the seed. Some may believe this could have unintended environmental and…

It is important to clear out large amounts of debris near the base of large trees otherwise they may be damaged or killed. Herbicide can be used in conjunction with burning in order to kill trees they may be two large to be burnt, and need to be cut and then sprayed to be killed. The most important lesson I learned was making sure you maintain the forest after a harvest to make…

that “The biggest environmental harm I have done as a farmer is the topsoil (and nutrients) I used to send down the Missouri River to the Gulf of Mexico before we began to practice no-till farming, made possible only by the use of herbicides. The combination of herbicides and genetically modified seed has made my farm more sustainable, not less, and actually reduces the pollution I send down the river.” (Hurst) He continues to defend farming by stating how prices will increase if farming changes…

inception of industrial mowers and high powered herbicides to kill weeds on a massive scale, golf courses have morphed into becoming high maintenance and potentially destructive facilities. In a simpler time, grass was kept by herds of sheep and the weeds were considered part of the game. Advancements in technology were inevitable and golf courses progressively reflected an artificial experience of the great outdoors. Some courses were stricken with herbicides that forced the wildlife away and…

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) have developed into one of the most controversial issues of our time. In recent years, consumers seem to possess a more conscious tone about the quality of their food. Most however, understand an insufficient amount about GMOs along with the risks they impose. Since their introduction, genetically modified foods have not undergone enough research on their potential ill effects. Moreover, genetically modified crops have demonstrated themselves as a damaging…

likely that he developed the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. In conclusion, to truly understand the problems Henry portrayed, one must first understand the Vietnam war and the symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Henry was exposed to damaging herbicides like Agent Orange, experienced devastating war experiences, and showed two key symptoms of PTSD. It is no wonder that Henry came back from the war a different…

Bees are a very important part of the environment, the economy, and our lives. Honey bees, along with many other types of bees, collect pollen from flowers, carry it back to their hives, and create honey to store as food. In the more modern era, bee hives have been industrialized by farmers and the farming industry in order to pollinate more crops. While bees have always been threatened by diseases, predatory bugs, and environmental stressors, a new threat has arisen. This threat is colony…
