Agriculture Counts

  The importance of agriculture in Georgia to me, my community, my state, my country and the world, is that the plants and livestock help us meet our everyday needs. Plants give us food and medicine. They also feed the livestock. Livestock give us food, clothes, and entertainment. Without the food the plants and livestock give us, we would all starve. Without new clothes, people would have to wear the same clothes again and again. The clothes would be ruined. Without medicine people can and will get sick. The people in the world could die.

  The livestock give us entertainment. Little kids can watch the pigs roll in the mud. They can watch the horses gallop around. The kids could even be allowed to ride some of the horses. The kids could watch the goats head butt with each other and watch the chickens cluck around.

  The plants in our world give the livestock food. With that food the livestock can produce milk and eggs. But, if the livestock don’t eat the will not produce milk and eggs. Without milk and eggs we cannot make cheese and butter. So, without food the livestock will die. Next, there would not be any more clothes from the cows and horses. So, no more animal skins can be used for clothes. Without plants in our world we could not breathe. Plants give us oxygen. So every time we cut down trees we are getting rid of oxygen. Without agriculture the whole world could go into chaos. That is what agriculture means to me.
