Tractor

Have you ever seen glass break before? I have...on a 5,000 dollar tractor windshield. One summer day in 2015, my cousin T.J. and I, were hitting rocks with baseball bats. Until one day when I learned the consequences of hitting rocks next to tractors. A few hours before the quote-unquote incident, I rode over to T.J.’s house. “Hey T.J,” I said as he opened the door. “Hi Gunnar, what are you doing here?” He asked. “I was wondering if you wanted to go play baseball over at Grandma’s?” I stated.…

One of the main arguments for…

When I was little I always dreamed of working outside. I would always play outside, I would have my little tractors and pickups out in the yard. Mom would always tell me to make sure that I wasn't playing in the mud with my cows. She didn't care about the tractors and pickups because they were out side toys, but them cows were inside toys. This is where I started to get an interest in this career. As I got older, I learned more about the farm and how things worked. I started to work for my uncle…

hunting once and it was during turkey hunting season. My mother’s boyfriend and myself set out one morning as the sun was just a red half circle. The morning dew and fog hugged the ground as our cold tractor ride to the back woods seemed as if the world was silent and the only sound was the tractor moving forward and the tires churning up mud. We set up under a tree and placed a turkey decoy to draw them closer. Sitting there was tranquil, as if I did not have a worry in the world. A buck and…

To make matters worse there was a rain storm coming. We found out…

himself, and produce grown by Pollan and wild pig that he hunted himself. Shapin argues that if we all were to look for “the perfect meal,” then about two billion people would starve. He writes, “Does your friendly local farmer use a tractor or a horse? If a tractor, does it use fuel made from biomass? If a horse, are the oats it eats organic? If the oats are organic, does the manure with which they were grown come from organically fed animals?” (Shapin, 438). Shapin’s point is that we can never…
