According to the U.S. Dairy Export Council (2015), there were 9.3 million cows which produced 93.4 million tons of milk in the United States in 2014. The country has about 50,000 farms under dairy farms which are majorly family-owned (U.S. Dairy Export Council, 2015). Dairy farming is practiced in all the 50 states as well as in Puerto Rico, and it is the leading agricultural business in Arizona, California, Michigan, Idaho, New York, New Hamshire, New Mexico, Utah, Vermont, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. 74 percent of dairy farms in the country have less than 100 cows, and the average ...

Discussion

Raphanus savitus is a cool-season crop. The radish seeds are living organisms that lie in the state of dormancy and affected by different factors such as air, temperature, light and moisture. Every single seed of radish can grow into a seedling provided it gets an ideal environment. However, that doesn’t happen normally. The experiment examines the effect of acid, base, caffeine, and microwaves on the germination of Raphanus savitus seeds. The main purpose of the experiment was to test the negative and positive effects of different environmental factors on seed germination. The data was collected after two weeks. It ...

Introduction

Germination is the process by which a plant develops from a seed and grows in optimal conditions where temperature and water available is suitable for the transformation of a seed into a plant. The conditions are favorable when the right balance of air, moisture and temperature are reached that stimulate the seed to come out of hibernation and start sprouting a root and shoot that starts the process of germination(Bewley, J. Derek, et al). Mostly, germination is the growth of embryonic seeds. When a seed is germinating and fertilizing, it produces an embryo where an embryo is present after fertilization and this embryo gets ...

Native Americans from the Mid-Nineteenth Century to the Present

Native Americans from the Mid-Nineteenth Century to the Present The issues that Native Americans have faced since 1865 are largely related to a struggle for survival and relevance in a modern age. Although scholars present considerable differences in estimate of the number of Native Americans present in North America at the time of Christopher Columbus’s arrival in 1492, ranging anywhere from 100 million (Schapp, 2010, p. 367) to 900,000 (Hoxie, 1996, p. 500) people, scholars agree that there was a great decline in Native American population lasting until the 20th century. Factors influencing the decline of the Native population ...

Seeds are fertilized ripe plant ovules that contain embryos and are used either for sowing or for consumption. They can also be defined as units of reproduction of flowering plants that develops into other plants. Seeds come from ripe ovules of gymnosperm (naked seeds) and angiosperm (enclosed seeds) plants after fertilization while others come from the mother plant (Bewley and Black, 1994). Seeds are formed to complete the reproduction process and also to help in the spread of flowering plants. They also help in the spreading or dispersal of plants. When seeds are mature, they are sown while others ...

Taxes

Taxation is the involuntary compulsory contribution made by individuals and organizations to the government in order to finance its activities (Bewley 2000). Taxation is also used to finance the functions of the government. Ideally, it is the major source of finance for the government. Some of the functions of the government include the provision of security, payment of debts owed by the state, expenditure on war and maintenance of law and order in the country. Studies have shown that a country’s economy will be balanced if the government expenditure is equal to the level of taxes in the country ( ...
