As some of you may or may not know, I have a “pet” name for farmers… Industrial Gardening. It is easy to think of farming as a care free, overall wearing, straw chewing lifestyle. But farmers put their financial success in the hands of mother nature every day of every year of their farming lives.
When they plant corn they plant up to 33,000 plants in an acre. The average farm size in Iowa today according to the USDA is 360 acres. That means they spend a significant amount of money in order to get the seed that they need in order to make a living. By my math: 11,880,000 seeds. Holy Smokes!!!
