THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

The economy comprises millions of people and thousands of firms as well as the government and local authorities, all taking decisions about prices and wages, what to buy, sell, produce, export, import and many other matters. All these organizations and the decisions they take play a prominent part in shaping the business environment in which firms exist and operate.

The economy is complicated and difficult to control and predict, but it is certainly important to all businesses. You should be aware that there are times when businesses and individuals have plenty of funds to spend and there are times when they have to cut back on their spending. This can have enormous implications for business as a whole.

When the economy is enjoying a boom, firms experience high sales and general prosperity. At such times, unemployment is low and many firms will be investing funds to enable them to produce more. They do this because consumers have plenty of money to spend and firms expect high sales. It naturally follows that the state of the economy is a major factor in the success of firms.

However, during periods when people have less to spend many firms face hard times as their sales fall. Thus, the economic environment alters as the economy moves into a recession. At that time, total spending declines as income falls and unemployment rises. Consumers will purchase cheaper items and cut expenditure on luxury items such as televisions and cars.

Changes in the state of the economy affect all types of business, though the extent to which they are effected varies. In the recession of the early 1990s the high street banks suffered badly. Profits declined and, in some cases, losses were incurred. This was because fewer people borrowed money from banks, thus denying them the opportunity to earn interest on loans, and a rising propotion of those who did borrow defaulted on repayment. These so called "bad debts" cut profit margins substantially. Various forecasters reckoned that the National Westminster Bank's losses in the case of Robert Maxwell's collapsing business empire amounted to over $100 million.

No individual firm has the ability to control this aspect of its environment. Rather, it is the outcome of the actions of all the groups which make up society as well as being infuenced by the actions of foreigners with whom the nation has dealings.

MECHANISATION OF AGRICULTURE

At the beginning of the 20th century mechanization of such basic processes as ploughing, sowing, grain-harvesting was still by no means complete. Now we can say that it is. The thing now is the full-scale mechanization of jobs requiring more intricate machinery, such as harvesting of sugar-beets, cotton, potatoes, mowing of hay crops, silaging and livestock care. Today our collective and state farms are able to obtain high yields of crops and animal produce because they work in close contact with science.

At the dawn of history we find man practising the most elementary methods of modifying soil conditions. He broke up the surface and prepared a seed-bed, using for this purpose the most primitive of all cultivating devices, a digging implement like a hoe. In early times the principal cropswere cereals and flax.

By the 19th century such a complexity of implements had been introduced as to justify the term «agricultural machinery». In agriculture, as in industry, the use first of water-power and then of steam had immensely stimulated the invention of machinery supplementing or replacing manual labour. A threshing-machine was invented late in the 18th century and was gradually coming into use early in the 19th. It was driven by water or wind, sometimes , by horse labour and later by steam. The mowing-machine, the self-binder and the potato-digger had all been developed in the first instance for horse or manual labour.

Agricultural implements and machines are now very numerous and diversified and may be divided into five main groups:

1) prime movers, i. e. engines of all kinds, tractors, etc.

2) cultivating machinery, including ploughs of all kinds, harrows, rollers , manure-distributors, drills, etc.

3) harvesting machinery, including mowers, self-binders, threshing machines, elevators, potato-diggers, etc.

4) stationary or barn machinery, including such food-preparing machines as chaff-cutters, grinding mills, root- cutters, etc.

5) dairy machinery, including milking machines, separators, sterilizing-machines, etc.

In addition there some other machines, including sprayers and sheep-shearing machines

1.What agricultural processes are mechanized today?

2.What groups may machines and implements be divided?

3.Is there any dairy machinery?

USA AGRICULTURE(2)

The South is famous for tobacco. The moist, warm climate contributes to the extensive growth of tobacco in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Cotton is another important crop for southern farmers, especially in Arkansas and Mississippi. Peanuts are grown in Georgia and citrus fruits, vegetables in Florida. Soybeans is an important crop in Arkansas.

The Great Plains region is considered the «American breadbasket». It yields great quantities of crops, especially wheat. Wheat is important in Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, and the Dakotas. Iowa receives more rainfall than the states in the west, so corn is grown instead of wheat. It is the leading state in the USA in corn production. Texas leads the country in the number of cattle and sheep. Here vegetables and citrus fruit, wheal and cotton are grown too.

The Rocky Mountains region lacks water. So many farmers raiselivestock. The cattle and sheep require a lot of land to graze. Many of the ranches are very large. Their sizes can be over 900 hectares.

California leads the Pacific region in farming. It is the leading grower in fruits and vegetables. The farms produce cattle, dairy products, cotton, grapes, tomatoes, and citrus fruits. In Washington cherries and apples are major fruits. Farms in Hawaii grow sugarcane and pineapples.

Now USA agriculture is big business and is a part of the country’s economy.

Agribusiness includes farmer cooperatives, rural banks, shippers of farm products, firms that manufacture farm equipment, food-processing industries and many other businesses. American agriculture exports its crops to Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America. The United States produces half of the world's soybeans and corn for grain, and from 10 to 25 percent of the world's cotton, wheat, tobacco and vegetable oils.

TRACTORS

Tractors occupy an important place on the farm as a source of power. On many farms they, together with trucks or trailers, have entirely displaced horses for farm work. An advantage of tractors power over the horse is that tractor can be used continuously for heavy work. In addition to pulling implements like ploughs and cultivators, a tractor may be used with implements for bush-cleaning, ditch-filling (засыпка канав) and land-levelling (выравнивание). Small tractors from 1 to 10 horse-power, fitted with single- or twin cylinder petrol engines, may be used for garden and orchard work.

Farm tractors maybe divided into two groups: wheeled and track-laying. Wheeled tractors may be further subdivided into standard and row-crop (nponaшная культура) types. Standard wheeled tractors are used for general farm work and do not have the special features associated with row- crop tractors. Row-crop tractors can be used for all ordinary purposes, but in addition they are specially designed for working on root and other row crops.

Track-laying tractors or crawlers have the great advantage that they can be used for heavy loads (rpyзы) on almost any class of land. They areconsiderably more economical in fuel than are wheel machines, but their greater initial cost and their maintenance, particularly that of the tracks, may outweigh (перевесить) this advantage. The crawler is, however, еру more efficient type of tractor and, moreover, can go on the land earlier after rain and so can work a greater number of days per year.
