We all need to be concerned about the environment and nature. Environmental awareness today will help conserve nature for the future. Farmers need to be conscious about the environment because they work with nature to produce their goods. Farmers cannot afford to hurt the soil or the water that they use to make their living. They need to make choices that will conserve resources for future farm generations.
