What would you like to learn? Might be easier to have a question to answer than to try to explain the whole system. That could take a lifetime to just try and explain the whole system when we don't know what it is you are interested in. Are you looking for the laws that regulate the farms, procedures, techniques, something about the plants, what? drinking

Why do you ask? confused You got one?? grin And if so.. what's the address? dancing We'll all be right over.

I would imagine you'd count though.. since Sind is just talking in generalities here i would imagine it's all included.

Sind.. sorry i can't answer your questions.. I've yet to see one. Seems like you're just wasting everyones time here. You know there are a whole host of pesticides and chemicals that farmers use for a wide variety of diseases and pests. It's impossible to lump all farmers into one particular method or choice of something like that. Alot of people do what we call substainable farming.. or organic farming. They don't use any pesticides or chemicals. Just use beneficial insects to control the bad insects.. and natural remedies and fertilizers. There are just so many things and different methods to say that all farmers are the same here in the US.

Production amounts.. well there again you're gonna get a whole lot of different numbers. It depends on how they are grown.. how good or bad the weather and other conditions are.. and a whole lot of other factors. It varies year to year. I could give you average numbers under specific methods.. but then that would only be for one farmer. Not much use for you there. You can look alot of the information you want about yields for the entire US for a specific crop if you want. But, like someone else says.. that's easier to find just by going to Wikipedia than it is to ask in here.

Anyways.. sorry you don't have any real questions.. sorry i'm not gonna waste my time playing around when you don't even know what it is you want to know. But, that's the best i can tell ya.. do your homework yourself.

And WEEBoom.. leave the light on!!

Wow.. you have narrowed it down considerably. I have never grown cotton nor sugar cane. Sorry i can't give any personal experience on those. I know people who grow both.. but i'm not gonna spend any time asking questions of em for ya. That would be just too time consuming. And there may be some expectations as you said.. plant x number of seeds, expect x number of bales of cotton at the end of the year. But there are still so many other factors besides the pesticides and fertilizers that can effect the amount of yields. Amount of rain, sunshine, heat or cold.. and i even had a tornado hit not too long ago. There are a whole host of factors besides the chemicals you might use.

But, just for the record.. i'm pretty much an organic farmer myself. I will use pesticides if it's a last resort.. and i'm not certified organic. But for the most part i stay away from anything that's not organic. And that cotton is usually very pesticide and fertilizer intensive here in the US if that helps any.

It's been years since I lived on a farm but when I did we grew a crop of feed corn one year. I lost money on it because I had to hire someone with the equipment to plant it and harvest it. It was $3.40 a bushel when I planted in the spring and $2.15 at harvest time. You gotta watch things like that. My only recourse was to use the corn to feed a bunch of pigs which turned my loss into a profit.
The cooperative came out several days prior to planting and treated the field with a mixture of herbicide and liquid fertilizer. After the herbicide biodegraded, the man came out with his drill (planter) and planted the field. This method is quite common here in the US.
