What is the Role of Production Agriculture in Your Local Community?
The role production agriculture has in our community is very crucial. A lot of jobs around our community have something to do with agriculture. Whether that is apart of the production process itself or having to do with merchandising or marketing maybe. In a small town like Hampton there is not a lot of job opportunities with a lot of other things, with agriculture that spectrum opens up a lot of jobs for people. A small town/farm community like Hampton relies on agriculture to stay alive in today’s economy. Most of its business and people come from farmers and their wants and needs. Farmers work to make money for themselves and generate products for the market, but they also take some of the money that is made and put it back into their community. Especially in a small community like Hampton where not a lot of state money comes in and where a lot of citizens have pride in their community. That money that is donated by citizens and farmers is greatly looked upon by the town and its residents, it helps the community shine and stand out. The Co-op in Hampton, now known as Central Valley Ag, helps generate a lot of business and attention towards Hampton, with people hauling in their crops and going to the elevator. With that elevator being located in Hampton more and more farmers can haul here if they need to or want to. Also, some semis haul sugar from Hampton to the ethanol plant in Aurora, those truck drivers generate more business for Hampton and make the community more known.

The role of production agriculture in my local community is vital to its survival. For example, agriculture is the main provider of occupations. Whether it be crop production of corn, soybeans or other sustenance crops. Or raising livestock, such as sheep, cattle, or hogs. Through agriculture, these livestock are fed as well as the people in our community. Such as gardens. Gardens can provide healthy farm fresh foods. Along with food necessary for us to survive, agriculture ties the people of the community together by helping each other out, or competing in the county fair. FFA is a huge activity for students in this community which is based on agriculture. Through the FFA, students learn qualities of leadership and the idea that hard work is how you can find success.

Our community revolves around agriculture. If you stand in our small town of Hampton, anyway you look, you will see fields or grazing lands. Not only do we see fields everywhere, but we have to see the farmers. A few times a day... Like coffee in the morning, lunch at noon, and ice cream about 2:00. We need agriculture, to well, get food. Not only for us, but for our animals. Agriculture is just a job to most people. It's a way of life around here. You're born into it. You can't go to college for farming, your just raised to know what your doing.
The role of agriculture in my community is very important to everyone in the community. It provides jobs for individuals who may not have the skills to work in an office, even if they do have the skills to work in an office, that still kind of relates with agriculture, I am not sure how, but it does. It is also a good way for this generation, and future generations to get jobs, because young teens can get jobs like detasseling or helping out on the family farm, and get paid. It is good that teens can do this because more often then not they are too young to work in a business. These farms and fields produce the food that we eat every day, such as corn, wheat, milk.

Agriculture is very important to the state of Nebraska. It makes up the state. The cornhuskers! That explains it a little I would say. Here we raise and farm many things. From corn and beans to cows, and pigs and of course many others. This year the farmers went through a little problem when it came to storms, we had hail and tornadoes around the area. My dad is a big farmer he knows a lot about his crops and land he always tells me something knew. This year harvest was late and we are still harvesting but its because we had to replant about everything. Farming can be very stressful but when you become a farmer you cant really just stop that how much Nebraskans actually care about their farming. When people come to Nebraska they may think its boring but in Nebraska where I live its very nice and Peaceful because here we are used to everything and we love it. So its very important that we keep farming through out upcoming generations and stay the cornhuskers. Its important to everyone. Other states may not farm as much as Nebraska but that’s okay because we love to farm its just in our genes and always will be.
