Let’s take a look at a modern farm, which is owned by Don and Betty Owen in Wisconsin (威斯康星州). Life on the Owens’ farm is very different from what many city people might imagine. Good roads and a car mean that they can get to town, do their shopping and be back home in a short time. They keep in touch with news by radio, newspaper and television. With the telephone they can talk to their neighbors and friends whenever they like. The Owens’ dairy farm（乳牛场）is one of the finest to be found anywhere. Don milks about fifty cows with only past-time help to get the milking machines on and off the cows and to care for the milk later. The cows are kept in a large place where there is an automatic feeder（自动进料槽）, which saves Don several hours a day. Their kitchen is as modern as those in the city so that the work can be done in a shorter time.
With all the help from machines, farming still requires hard work and long hours. Betty and Don are up at 5:30 each morning and keep working until late in the evening . But the Owens like their life on the farm.
