章节摘录

　　On an old.time faml in America there were chickens，COWS，pigs and other domestic anireals，but there were very few machines.Most of the work was done by the entire farm family with the help of a“hired hand”.Sometimes extra Iaborers were needed in the busy seasons. Horses provided about 80 per cent of the power used.human Iabor 1 5 per cent,and machines only 5 per cent.　　Today all that has changed.Just as technology changed the face of industry，agriculture has undergone a revolution.On the farm today.machines provide almost all the power and horses are kept only for pleasure.Besides developing new machines，scientists and engineers have helped the farmers in many ways.Some farmers even have computers which help them USe their resources better.As a result，the farms of today are able to produce much more food with the same amount of Iabor.However，the agricultural revolution iS not over.1n the future， farmers wilI receive even greater benefits frOm science and technology.0ne of the most important benefits wilI be frOm use of the farm computer.A few famlers are already using computers to help them run their farms.The computers help them keep more accurate records SO that they can make better decisions on what crops to plant，when to sell their products and how much money they can make.At the moment.only one to five per cent of the nation’S farms use computers，but many people believe that this nutuber will grow to 25 per cent in the next five years.There can be no doubt that farmers wilI rely on computers even more in the future.While the old-time farms depended on horse power，and modern farms depend on machine power， farms of the future wilI depend on computer power.Another technological advance iS the robot that is able to move and，in some ways，think like a human being.Agricultural engineers believe that robots wilI make great changes ln farmlnq ln the 21 st century.Unlike farmers of the present， farmers of the future wilI find that many day.to.day tasks wilI be done for them by robots.For example，in the future，farmers will use robots to milk their COWS.When the milking is completed.the robots wilI automatically check to ensure that the milk iS pure.Some robots were used in farmina as early as in 1 990.
