I don't think I could ever be a
farmer. Have my whole life salary based on the uncertainty of whether or not you
will have a crop. You spend your days planting something as small and fragile
as a seed, place it into the ground and hope that it will make it through the
uncertainty of weather patterns so it will grow and you can put food on your
own table. I know I would be a nervous wreck just waiting for the seeds to
sprout out of the ground. At least if you raised an orchard of trees, you can
tell if the tree is alive or dead. Of course, then you get pesky birds that can
eat the fruit off of your trees. Thinking about this comes around to the point
that do farmers spray their crops with pesticides, not because they want to
fulfill societies demand of always having perfect vegetables or fruit. But rather,
to have that back up of; if I spray this then I will definitely have a
sustainable crop and can feed my family at the end of the day. I don’t think it
is survival of the fittest it’s just that if you have the measures to obtain
security you are going to take them. Again, uncertainty. Just plant the crops
and hope to some higher being that they will grow cannot be a thing for
everyone.
