Apps for Agriculture - Connor Sullivan

 Apps for Agriculture

    Farming is becoming smarter and smarter every day. We have turned big computers into small hand held devices and now it may be easier than every to have you 50 acre farm right there on your smart phone. The article that I read straight from the creators of the the app "Cropin" They are a company that are wanting to make farming smarter that every with there app which I will go into more detail about.

    Cropin is a very smart and intuitive system that delivers farming solutions to all sorts of agricultural settings. They give you all the data that you can think of and set out different patterns that you crops are going through and also weather patterns. Cropin gathers data through a smartphone app that records activities & milestones. Ensuring efficient operations, lower costs and better visibility for your field agents at all times.        

    I think that this app could be the next best thing, It gives you so much data and insight into your crops and can give you accurate predictions of what to come. I feel like this could save a farmer a lot of money while making them a lot at the same time.

    Dear Connor,
    I really enjoyed reading this weeks blog. As a farm kid I think it is wonderful that more and more apps are being made. On the other hand these can become a problem if you truly think about it. Do you know why I say that having so much technology may start hurting the agriculture industry? If so maybe shoot me a text, if not I would love to let you know. I, along with many other farmers have that view on today's technology.

    I never knew that there apps that help with farming and agriculture. It was fascinating reading what all the app can do. I believe this is a preview of what our future is going to look like. On the other hand, having all electronic things can have many different pros and cons to them.

    Very cool, i would have never guessed you could even make an app to actually help in agriculture. It would be awesome to see some of the successful apps and get to see how they actually work to help agriculture.

Blog post #2 Deforestation

 Mason Mitchell             To begin talking about deforestation first it helps to understand exactly what deforestation is. Deforestation is the purposeful clearing of forested land. The next thing to look at is why is this problem occurring? Deforestation occurs for multiple reasons. Through history forests have been razed to make room for agriculture and animal gazing as well as to obtain wood for fuel, manufacturing, and construction. The main problem with deforestation is it’s causing more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere this speeds up the process of global warming causing climate change to become worse.  So what can we do to solve this issue.  Well there is hope in fact deforestation is starting to decrease in North America because of conservation efforts form multiple non profit organizations. There are multiple move to across our country and our world that deal with planting trees and protecting forests. We can do our part and...

blog 9 conservation and extinction Natasha Provinse

     This will be the last blog post I  do on this topic, I have been researching and learning about the issues of conservation and extinction for several weeks now and I feel a lot more personally connected to this issue. this exercise has helped me gain a new understanding of the threat we face in our world today. Nobody knows how many species are being lost each year nor the  total number of species that inhabit the earth today.   According to wwf panda organization , "Biologists estimate there are between 5 and 15 million species of plants, animals, and micro-organisms existing on Earth today, of which only about 1.5 million have been described and named. The estimated total includes around 300,000 plant species, between 4 and 8 million insects, and about 50,000 vertebrate species (of which about 10,000 are birds and 4,000 are mammals)." these species are considered   threatened  and about 23 percent of these species are at risk or on the...

Blog 9.) The Importance of Biodiversity - Dayton S.

Image
Biodiversity is very essential in large ecosystems. The most noticeable, is the resource availability. With plenty of water, comes plenty of insects. The insects pollenate plants, which bring in amphibians and rodents, and fish. This draws in small predators like birds, reptiles, fox, and many more and this keeps going on and on. As long as the biodiversity is large within an ecosystem, it will continue to grow. Reintroducing biodiversity could rejuvenate a declining ecosystem as well, but this needs to be done very intricately so you do not cause a situation like the invasive species which causes a new issue. Why are our ecosystems dying if they can rejuvenate themselves through biodiversity? Well once again we as humans harvest anything we can from ecosystems. This not only hurts an ecosystems biodiversity, but we also stain the ecosystems with particular means of harvesting. For example, loggers use heavy machinery and power tools to do their job. This leaves oil everywhere, damages...
