International Farmers
We are the international farmers. The farmers are
very important to the world. We
harvest a lot of crops. We only have one major
problem:. DEER. The deer are driving us
crazy; all they do is eat our crops and your food!
There are way too many deer around
our farms. We try to work around them and plant
extra crops just for them to eat but
they just keep on eating.
The overpopulation of deer hurt the business of
farming and hurts my reputation. When
someone ask for 100 pounds of corn and I can't
deliver because then deer ate through
half of my crops I can't give them there order. When
I can't deliver then they cannot
trust me so, they will not order from me again. They
dig up the seeds that I just planted
and that cost me more money because to replace the
seeds. They damage the crop not by
just eating them. They dig them up or the trample
them down to the ground. "This is the
point at which deer become an economic liability:
causing highway accidents, destroying
crops and orchards, damaging gardens."
But with all these damage’'
to our crops we have come up with the solution of
the ages.
Also have the hunting season for deer all year long
then more deer will be killed so the
population will go down and my crops will stay alive
so I could harvest more crops or more
money. If we do this then we will cut the
population down slowly but will take a while to
get down where we want it to be.
If we do this it should lower the deer population
by a lot. It also should help the deer''
live longer because they are not competing against
80 deer there now competing against 20
deer. Our idea will benefit all stakeholders.
