Abstract
This paper explains how the New Deal eliminated earlier concerns and conflicts between safety and productivity. The author states that this article recognizes the roles of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and the Farm Credit Administration (FCA) in the farmers' investment strategy and that the economic impact of government regulation interfered with market forces in ways that did not always benefit the economy of the country. The paper concludes, in terms of history, that the article shows that the past needs to be taken into account for both its successes and its failures, if things are to move forward in a significant way.

From the Paper
"Clarke makes several points to advance her argument. Firstly, she points out that high sales figures for tractors starting in World War I may be misleading, as they do not focus on the farmers who might potentially have bought tractors and did not. When calculating the relative number of farmers potentially benefiting from purchasing tractors, Clarke finds that fewer farmers in the Corn Belt than expected owned tractors in 1929. This advances the argument that economic factors led to reluctance to invest in new technology during this time. The author further reinforces the point by citing the farmers' tendency to protect assets due to the instability of commodity markets."

Abstract
The paper is presented as a report to the company, Dobson Farm Products, which retained Computer Systems Analysts, Inc. to analyze their current information systems and to design a system that would meet both the immediate and future projected needs of the growing company. The report summarizes the findings and recommendations of the analysis team, including the company's security needs.

From the Paper
"Security measures will involve setting up a separate server called a "Proxy Server". This offers better protection than a firewall, but works in basically the same manner. The Proxy server uses a set of data validation techniques and protocols, which can be custom configured to either allow or disallow information to be sent or received. A proxy server will be set up for the entire system as a type of gatekeeper. Only authorized personnel will be able to gain access to this system or transmit information."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the regulation of food and food products in the United States has been a concern since the 1950s when the federal government established the Food and Drug Administration to oversee food safety. The paper explains that the federal entity has had a profound effect on how food and food products can be advertised and marketed due to the documentation that must prove claims of ingredients and the labeling that is required by the federal organization.

Abstract
This document discusses Paradise Farm Organics, founded and still managed by Mary Jane Butters. The writer explains that Paradise Farm Organics produces, markets and sales its own branded line of organic and natural food products. The writer discusses that while Paradise Farm Organics maintains some distribution agreements with large distributors of specialty food products, it relies primarily on its established web business. However, its web based business is antiquated in the face of the active and integrated storefronts that technology allows industry competitors to access in today's market. The writer maintains that Paradise Farm Organics is in need of a complete overhaul of its internet sales channel, its operations, and a 30% increase in its access to raw materials or produce.

Abstract
This paper looks at the focus, impact and consequences of U.S. farm policies. In particular, it examines the 1996 Farm Bill, policy changes instituted in 1985, and the 2002 Farm Act. The paper concludes with an analysis of the consequences, whether positive or negative, of the Freedom to Farm Act.

From the Paper
"The United States has always supported its farmers through a number of different policies. This policy has included programs designed to distribute the nation's land in an equitable fashion, increase productivity, raising the standard of living of American farmers and helping them to market their products (Westcott and Price, 2001). US farm policy since the 1930s focused on price and income supports. Until the introduction of the 1996 Farm Bill, the price support system relied on a series of acreage limits and storage programs (Westcott and Price, 2001)."

From the Paper
"...... American agricultural production grew dramatically while the number of farm workers declined by nearly one-third. What some historians have described as nearly miraculous agricultural productivity was achieved. This was accomplished as a consequence of greater crop specialization, intensive use of fertilizers and increased mechanization of farm work itself. The decline of the family farm and the growth of what came to be called agri-business changed the environment in which agricultural production in the United States took place. Larger farmers benefited ... "

Abstract
This paper analyzes the various themes in George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm." The paper explores the contrasts between the setting of a farm, the characters being animals, and the serious political messages of the book. The paper's author concludes that Orwell used these contrasts in order for the reader to constantly question the themes of the novel.

From the Paper
"The novel Animal Farm by George Orwell is considered as one having important and serious themes. Orwell is writing about the nature of power, the corruption of power, the nature of society, as well as a basic theme about good and evil. The importance of these themes suggests that the novel is one that Orwell wanted people to take seriously. The importance of these themes also suggests that the novel is one for an adult audience. These aspects of the novel create questions about why Orwell wrote it the way he did. Why did he base the novel on an animal farm, where the animals reject the humans and take over the farm? Why does Orwell have pigs as the main characters? These aspects of the novel do not seem to match the important themes of the novel. Yet, it must be assumed that Orwell had a purpose in selecting the setting, the characters, and the style of the novel. These issues will now be explored in detail, with the purpose being to understand what Orwell was trying to achieve with the novel."

Abstract
This paper discusses the issues of should the Nantucket Sound wind farm be allowed to proceed and do the apparent benefits outweigh the risks that opponents have outlined? In a word: yes. According to the paper, the Nantucket Sound wind farm proposal should move forward in its development. It represents a renewable source of clean electricity that has minimal impact upon the region--both environmentally and economically. The coming years will see ever-increasing costs for nonrenewable sources of electricity such as coal and natural gas. The Nantucket Sound region has the ability to produce much of its own electricity, cheaply and efficiently. The region should take advantage of that resource.

Abstract
The paper reviews the play "The Farm Show" and answers six questions. The paper posits that the story is a little wierd; there is no central story and this makes a standard review difficult.

From the Paper
""The Farm Show" is a collectively written play written by a theater troupe known as Theatre Passe Muraille. It is an unusual play based on the lives of actual people in the rural community of Clinton Ontario (Theatre Passe Muraille 19). It is difficult to list the main characters in this play. This is because there is no central story. Instead the play is like a collection of skits resembling a Christmas pageant. The characters are based on actual people living in Clinton Ontario (Theatre Passe Muraille 1). The characters that Theatre Passe Muraille lists as central are Sally Bird, Ray Bird, Les..."
