AniKiiliiue is the nation's laieest industry. Its total assets exceed one trillion dollars, making it bigger than the automobile, steel, and housing industries combined. America's largest labor force is the :: million Americans working in some phase of agriculture from growing food to selling it at the supermar ket. Agricultural exports are the largest earners of foreign exchange. Food is a product of agriculture. Is it then hard to understand why food has be come our nation's fastest growing industry? Food is the foundation of American agri culture. Food is the fuel that enables living organisms, from the single-celled ameoba to the present day human, to func tion. Without food the human race would no longer have the fuel of life. It take farmers (those who cultivate (he land, raise the crops, and livestock) and farm workers to produce food. Kvery farm worker creates a job for five additional people, people who produce the things farmers need, transport farm products, and eventually market the products. Agriculture is directly re lated lo steel production, food processing plants, consump tion of goods, exports, and easing of world hunger. Forty thousand people are employed lo produce the seven million tons of steel the farmers use for fencing, building, and farm machinery. The farmer uses in excess of 130 billion in goods and services lo produce his crops and livestock. In addition, the farmer con sumes goods for his family's lersonal living. The farmer must buy farm equipment, fuel, fertilizer, feed, seed, rubber-containing products, electricity, and technical know ledge for maintenance of his equipment and land. America depends upon the faremr lo suport another million people in jobs relating lo the exporting of agricult ural products. Exports pro vide for 30 percent of total cash receipts for farmers, nd account for one out every three crop acres harvested. Kvery dollar's worth of food products exported generated growl h of $1.05 in economic activity for an estimated total of $2. (la in such areas as transportation, financing, warehousing, and production of supplies sold to farmers. America provides more food-aid to hungry nations than all other countries comb ined. This food aid has proved to be a two-way street, with some countries gaining enough economically to be come buyers of American farm products. America pro moles growth of many third world countries' economy by importing food products not raised in our own country. In the primary grades, children first become aware of the foods they should eat for physical and mental growth. They learn that they need to eat balanced meals, which consists of foods from the basic food groups: bread and cereal; fruits and vegetables; meat, eggs, legumes; and dairy products. We could conclude that food promotes two kinds of very important grow th - growth of our bodies and minds and growth of our nation's economy, both home and abroad. As the population of the United States and other nations has increased, Amer ica's largest industry has pro duced more food ; thus food is truly America's growth in dustry, Maybe the next time you hear expressions such as "food for thought" and "what you eat is what you are," you will remember that without the food industry, life as we know it would not be possible, 1st Aid class completed Red Cross representative llethal Heinrichs reports that instructor Dave Zachry recen tly completed a Multmedia standard first aid class.
