Agriculture will be one of the most exciting businesses in the next 10 years.

The average American eats up to 113 kilograms of meat a year, the people of India: less than 4.5 kg per year, and China – 45 kg. That is mesoprosodes has room to grow. Half of the us grain crop goes to feed cattle – so there is a demand for grain. American farmers are also using many innovations so that their productivity is higher than in other countries.

But despite this, the law is preferred over other grain products, and he strongly supports a major kimmerijskie the farm, but also farmers who are not in dire need of VA support.
