A farm is a great place to work.

A farm is a great place to work. There are many different jobs to do on a farm, and farmers spend most of their time outside in the spring, summer, and fall. Winter is nice also if you don’t mind being outside when it’s cold.

Farms in the United States produce crops such as corn, wheat, soybeans, and cotton. Farms in California and Florida can grow crops all year round, so the orange juice you had for breakfast probably came from one of those states.

Some farmers raise cows for the production of milk and cheese. They’re called dairy farmers. Dairy farms are very popular in the states of Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Farmers who grow apples and pears have large orchards. They’re very busy in the fall months of September and October when the fruit ripens. You can go to an orchard in the fall and pick your own apples. By visiting an orchard, you can learn a little about what it’s like to work on a farm.

Fish farming

Reading A pair work Discuss these questions. Then read article, and check your answers.

1. What do you think the title of the article means?
2. What is a fish farm?
3. What is the meaning of trangenics?

Answer:

1. I think the title of the article is Seafood that never sees of the sea.
2. A fish farm is the man is work find of seafood the sea.
3. Trangenics is the transfer of genes from one species to another.

A

lthough  80% of the world’s  seafood comes from marine harvests, there is a major shift under way toward aquaculture now. Nearly 40% of salmon marketed today is raised in captivity, compared with 6% a decade ago. Forty percent of all calm, oysters, and mussels are  produced infarm environments, along with 65% of freshwater fish. “the fact that world seafood supplies continue  to increase at all is due almost entireliy to the phenomenal growth in aquaculture, “says Anne Plat McGinn, a research associate at the Worldwatch Institute.

Biotechnology is contributing to high – yield aquaculture through transgenics – the transfer of genes from one species to another. Researchers introduce desirable genetic traits into fish, creting hardier stocks. For example, some species of fish have a protein that allows them to live in Arctic waters. By transplanting this “anti – freeze” gene into other species, researchers have created more fish that can survive in extremely cold water. Biotechnologists are attempeting to improve a wide range of genetic traits in fish used for aquaculture, developing fish that are larger and faster – growing, more efficient in converting feed into muscle, more tolerant of low oxygen levels in water, and better able to resist disease.

While aquaculture produces a reliable source of potein, the industry  is rife with environmental problems, asserts McGinn. Perhaps the biggest concern is water pollution : Fish waste and uneaten food accumulate at farm sites and can float directly downstream into water supplies. McGinn charegers that aquaculture also uses resources inefficiently. Fish farms need protein feed, and about 17% of ocean fish, an overharvested wild resource, becomes food for captive – bred fish. “An estimated five kilograms of oceanic fish reduced into fish meal are required to raise one kilogram of farmed ocean fish or shrimp, representing a large net protein loss,” says McGinn.

Fish farming does not have to be an inefficient or polluting industry. McGinn predicts that many consumers will choose sustainably produced fish in the future, just as they prefer dolphin – free tuna today.
