I wonder...

Now, it may seem insignificant to the average person, but reproductive technologies truly are the future of animal agriculture. Think about it, no sperm, no fertilization, no pregnancy, no baby, no cow, no beef, no hamburgers. During the Great Depression, the agricultural sector took a huge hit. Since then, the problems facing farmers have only increased. Economic pressures, ecological factors, decreasing food prices, increasing land prices, declining numbers of farmers, increasing agricultural monopolies, decreased agricultural education, a growing population. All of these things severely stress the most important industry in our lives, and most people don't even realize it. Today, the average American farmer feeds over 120 people, year round. About 20% of those people will be in other countries. Not only does the farmer have to worry about their living and their family, but they are also responsible for feeding the world. Increased pressure from animal rights organizations and unfair legislature that, frankly, is being voted on by people who have no idea of the implications behind the laws.
Around the time of the development of many modern agricultural technologies such as A.I., the agricultural industry was just beginning to see the problems looming on the horizon. With the effect of the Great Depression still prevalent in their minds, scientists, universities and large agricultural companies began investing in research to develop technologies and techniques to make production more efficient. More food, with less farmers, on less land. Challenge accepted.
