As we continue to improve our methods of farming, it is important to protect those assets with a Metal farm Building. The clear span design allows you to maximize the amount of grain and corn you can store inside. The prefabricated nature of these Metal Buildings is becoming a more popular commodity for the farming communities. They allow no room for pests, birds or rodents to nest above your crops, eliminating the need for constant oversight and protecting them from contamination.
These buildings can range in sizes from 20’ to 140’ in width and are available in unlimited lengths. Steel building kits for farming communities can save you money as they are pre-engineered to be erected quickly by even an inexperienced builder. By constructing these buildings on your property yourself, you are able to save thousands of dollars compared to more conventional building methods and techniques.
These are not wooden pole barns which struggle to keep their structural integrity during a hurricane. They do not have any of the issues with warping, sagging, knot defects and termite infestation. Steel Farm Buildings by Curvco are hurricane rated for extreme wind and weather and will require no down time due to facility repair.
Our goal at Curvco Steel Buildings is to encourage you to concentrate your precious resources on ensuring your farms profitability. After all, our world economy is dependent on the exponential growth of the biotechnology advancements and practices which can help feed the people of tomorrow.
How Has Biotechnology Improved Farming and Modern Agriculture?
For thousands of years, farmers have been trying to develop ways to improve the quality and yield of their crops. Certain techniques such as cross breading have been dominate in the agricultural communities but have not yielded the results necessary to combat the increasing demand for food.
Biotechnology in the modern world has allowed plant breeders to select specific genes in the DNA that have beneficial traits and transfer them from one plant to another. In return, the plants develop higher immunities to diseases and adapt to environmental stress and climate change. Over the years, they have procured methods to increase the nutritional content, making our foods healthier for consumption.
By using Biotechnology in farming practices, we have been able to manufacture seeds which yield more per acre allowing farmers to grow more food on less land. These strategic improvements to “seed technology” have been adopted at rapid rates that have never before been seen by any other advances in the history of agriculture.
By increasing the plants natural resistance to diseases and pests; reducing the use of pesticides all together; and maintaining and improving crop yields; Biotechnology has proved to play a key role in our survival.
Giving farmers the proper products and tools could help alleviate poverty and meet our energy needs at the same time. Creating seeds by the use of biotechnology, can change the dynamics of farming in drought-stricken areas where farming in the past was difficult or near impossible. Many benefits derive from the scientific nature of tweaking these seeds to perform better.
In agriculture, Hay is nothing but dried grass or legumes and other foliage that is used as animal fodder. Hay is generally used for grazing animals and sometimes for domesticated animals such as guinea pigs and rabbits. Timothy, clover, and alfalfa are some typical crops that are used as Hay. The seed material and leaf determines the quality of Hay. This is because of the leaf which posses a much higher nutrition value for animals than stems. Harvesting hay is a thorough process. The best time to harvest hay is when the head of the seed is not ripened and the leaf is in full bloom.
Storing Hay is a robust process because Hay is a very sensitive fodder. It is susceptible to weather and transport conditions. Especially the weather and climatic conditions play a huge role in handling Hay. With a season of drought, the seeds and leaves of Hay get stunted. Hay that has a high level of dry stems will give a low nutrition value to the animals. Whereas, if the climatic conditions stand to be too wet, Hay may get spoil even before it is transported or fed to the animals. Thus, one of the biggest challenges for Hay is proper storage.
There are small square bales as well, which are traditionally about 3 feet long and 18 inches wide and 1 foot tall. Their weight can range from 36 to 71 lbs, with an average weight of 50 lbs. Due to the labor cost, these square bales are generally stored indoor. The flat surface of square bales can easily absorb water if they are left uncovered, which is enough for deteriorating the quality of Hay. If square bales are stored inside the hay storage buildings, then the quality of Hay remains stable and full of nutrition for an extended period of time. As far as the handling of a bale is concerned, the small square bales have an advantage. Hay feeders are required to use with square bales to avoid losses during feeding.
Round or circular bales are generally stored outdoors. Storing bales outdoors can majorly reduce the quality of Hay. Moisture present outdoor allows fungus and bacteria to prosper, which wrecks the quality of Hay. That is why it is important to store your hay inside a sealed and sound steel structure. Round bales can be moved with the help of tractor or other such machinery.
In many areas of the country concrete and block buildings are constructed for residential, commercial and industrial use when they could save thousands by erecting an
