On May 23rd the Youth
Leadership Academy went to hooper and meet with different farmers. The first
farmer grew crops and the told us about the new technology that is coming for
the tractors. They bought a GPS that can remeber were they sprayed or planted
and it also can drive it self.The GPS cost more than what most GPS's would
cost but it was wourth every pennie.The second farmer was a farmer of a dairy
farm he showed you how a cow gets milked with a machine instead of hand
milking. He showed us the baby cows that was old enough to wean from it's
mother. We saw how the mix the food and what they mix together. We got to go
into a barn that had a cow in it the just got born. i never seen a newborn cow
before that was the first time that I seen that. For the last farm that we went
to was in dogde. That farm was a person that bought cattle from actions and
other places and then the kept them until they were able to get killed for its
meat.
