The River Warren and the Struggling Farmer :: Warren
The River warren and the Struggling Farmer   The alarm clock sounds every morning at five oclock, not a Sony or any other stock of electrical device, but the sounds of the roosters crowing and horses scurrying around the dew filled crease eagerly awaiting their morning grain. One can hardly ignore crashing and humongous sounds that the hogs make as they lift their feeder covers with their noses and bounce them up and mow to alert their sufferer he is late for breakfast again. As the granger stumbles out of bed, he is greeted by tantalizing aroma of fresh burnt umber and his wifes award winning biscuits. He pronto throws on a couple of pants and heads to the table with his shirt halfway unbuttoned and his boots untied. He quickly scarves down his breakfast and is out the door ready for another day of work, with out so as thank you to his wife for meal that she was up at four oclock to prepare.   For most Americans a life like this that exits in their m emories of Little House on the Prairie, and it is hard for them to imagine what it would be like if they had to do so much as squeeze their own orange juice. But for the average family of the early nineteenth century it was a way of life. There were no supermarkets or grocery stores where food could be easily purchased. The choices were easy, farm or starve For the most part pack choice to farm.   Means and methods of agribusiness have changed greatly in the outlast hundred old age. The small time farmers are a thing of the past. each year many farms are going under do to a fall crop market. The price of equipment and farmland has also increased a great deal, and the market is far from keeping up. If this does not change the supermarkets whitethorn not have a produce section. A hundred years ago this would problem would never been for seen.   Back then means of farming were very difficult and each member of the family played an important fibre if the farm w as going to survive. The women would always arise about an hour originally the men and get breakfast started.
