When you drive through Illinois and see the wheat crops they all look the same to the average person. One of my friends who is a farmer has discussed how the people who sell the seeds do well financially, but besides that, I really knew nothing about the seed industry. ]]> 2018-07-28 01:56:24 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthajrkesler/m12qpzfwbm6q/wish/271316944 samanthajrkesler https://padlet.com/samanthajrkesler/m12qpzfwbm6q/wish/271317092 The key message I got from this part of the movie was that we need to conserve diversity or else agriculture will not adapt without this. The discussion of climate change is very prominent right now, but it is usually about protecting the animals and talking about the ice caps melting. I'm not saying that the animals aren't important, but we have to look at the bigger picture of the world as a whole. ]]> 2018-07-28 02:01:04 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthajrkesler/m12qpzfwbm6q/wish/271317092 samanthajrkesler https://padlet.com/samanthajrkesler/m12qpzfwbm6q/wish/271317473 Before watching this movie I really knew very little about the seeds and work behind the crops. There are so many people working together to make sure our crops are evolving and thriving. With the domesticated crops, the farmers help make the changes to ensure a successful crop. If a plant needs more water, then different irrigation measures will be used, and it is the same idea as the overall success of the crops. There is no perfect wheat, but the men and women behind the seeds are working at making the best options they can. ]]> 2018-07-28 02:15:02 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthajrkesler/m12qpzfwbm6q/wish/271317473 samanthajrkesler https://padlet.com/samanthajrkesler/m12qpzfwbm6q/wish/271317524 Often times when people are working on a goal or trying to finish a task, they reach a level of frustration where they are okay with making cuts or not doing their absolute best. What I picked up from this quote was that we need to look at the bigger picture. One decision will affect the next, so we need to make conscious, smart decisions. By remaining true to their principles, they are making quality products rather than producing large quantities of a poor seed. ]]> 2018-07-28 02:18:17 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthajrkesler/m12qpzfwbm6q/wish/271317524 samanthajrkesler https://padlet.com/samanthajrkesler/m12qpzfwbm6q/wish/271317565 Currently, there are a lot of opinions flying around about climate change and whether or not it actually exists. I am on the sign of science, which has given more than enough proof that climate change exists. Unfortunately, right now the leader of our country is not standing with the scientists and is causing the debate to continue. The men and women behind the research of climate change are looking towards the future of our wildlife and plant life. ]]> 2018-07-28 02:19:45 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthajrkesler/m12qpzfwbm6q/wish/271317565 samanthajrkesler https://padlet.com/samanthajrkesler/m12qpzfwbm6q/wish/271379791 2018-07-29 20:21:54 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthajrkesler/m12qpzfwbm6q/wish/271379791
