Through flood, drought, ice storm, and fire, farmers have always persevered. Farmers do not produce livestock and crops in a factory type of environment. They do produce livestock and crops in a highly technological climate, using the most modern tools available to them. To imply that agricultural products are produced in an assembly line manner is terribly misleading. Biological organisms such as animals and produce are not widgets, and are not treated as such.
Farmers choose their careers in livestock management because they have a love for animals.
Equally, crop producers share the same love for their soil and the crops they produce. Much like the person who takes responsibility in pursuing their career, so does the farmer in raising animals and cultivating the soil. Farmers pride themselves in producing high quality, healthy food products. Quality control and standard operating procedures are common practices on every modern farm. Food produced in Canada undergoes extensive testing procedures every step along the way.
