Pest Management

Introduction

Pest management and control is the regulation and management of some species referred to as pests, because they are usually species that affect the health of the people, the ecology, the economy, etc. In the United States, it is vital to take into account animal welfare, humane pest control, and deterrence (Koul, 2008). It is considered preferable to make use of animal psychology of destruction. E.g., with the red fox urban, territorial behavior this is used against the animal, together with repellents usually not aggressive.

Existing farm crisis

A farm crisis is an economic event that affects farms and may be caused by various factors. There have been a number of farm crises in U.S. and world history. In fact, the observed relationship between droughts and economic calamities was one early explanation for the business cycle in the then-young science of economics, as various economists struggled to find predictable periodic phenomena such as weather patterns or sunspots that could be incorporated into models demonstrating an orderly system of agricultural and economic fluctuations (Dhaliwal, 2004). No such model was ever successfully constructed there are too many interlocking factors, and although a low crop yield one year can affect sectors of the economy beyond the agricultural sector, a new tax law the following year can affect farmers' ability to bring crop to market, without needing the involvement of sunspots or any such external phenomena.

Though there have been economic calamities affecting farmers in all eras of U.S. history, and a growing divide between farmers and bankers in the 19th century that echoed the agrarian/industrialist, Republican/Federalist, Jefferson/Hamilton divide of the nation's infancy, the first such crisis to be called a farm crisis was that faced by farmers in the 1920s. Tellingly, it was as of the 1920 census that the United States officially became an urban nation, with more Americans living in cities than in rural areas (Horowitz, 2004). A generation earlier, the Census Bureau had declared an end of the frontier, since there was no area of the United States left unpopulated, outside of a few nature reserves or uninhabitable patches of desert. Farmers in 1920 represented 27 percent of the workforce; this would decline further to 21 percent in 1930. The world suffered from a global recession in the immediate aftermath of World War I, and although much of the United States recovered quickly and enjoyed the prosperity of what is remembered as the Roaring Twenties, U.S. farmers were barely able to hang on. It would be sorely tempting to blame Prohibition and the resulting decreased demand for grain the corn, wheat, and rye used to make American whiskeys, the barley used for beer, but the abundant surpluses of crops affected far more than just grains, and the crisis began in 1919, before Prohibition went into effect.
