  2. AG-BAS-1eIdentifies the major branches of the agriculture industry

  4. Branches of Agriculture • The agriculture industry involves all the processes in getting food, fiber, and shelter to the consumer

  5. Agriculture – 3 Major areas • 1. Supplies and Services • 2. Production Agriculture • 3. Marketing and Processing

  6. Additional Areas • 4. Ornamental Horticulture • 5. Natural Resources • 6. Recreation

  7. Additional Areas Finally… • Foresty, Food Science, Companion and Service Animals

  8. 1.Supplies and Service Supplies - inputs (materials and equipment needed to grow crops and livestock) Service - skilled people who assist with production

  9. 1. Supplies and Service Machinery and Equipment • examples: tractors, implements, etc.

  10. 1. Supplies and Service Seeds and Plants • examples: seeds, bedding plants, cuttings, liners, etc.

  11. 1. Supplies and Service Chemicals – fertilizers and growth regulators, also used to control weeds, diseases, insects.

  12. 1. Supplies and Service Feed and Animal Health • examples: feed and medicines for animals

  13. 2. Production Agriculture • The farming part of the agriculture • Includes: crops, livestock, livestock products and sometimes tree farms

  14. 2. Production Agriculture • Farming is specialized today – most farmers produce only 1 or 2 crops or products. • Most farmers in the US today sell all that they grow and buy their food at the supermarket.

  15. 2. Production Agriculture • Examples of agricultural crops: rice, cotton, wheat, corn, soybeans, sorghum, vegetables, fruit, berries, nuts, trees.

  27. 5. Natural Resources/ Environmental Science Two Types of Natural Resources: 1. Renewable – resources that can be replaced…but a long time may be needed. • Examples: soil, water, air, wildlife

  28. 5. Natural Resources/ Environmental Science Two Types of Natural Resources: 2. Nonrenewable – resources that can not be replaced. • Examples: fossil fuels, minerals
