Chapter 2&3

In chapters 2 and 3 of Omnivore’s Dilemma we were introduced to a farmer that live in Greene County, Iowa. His name is George Naylor. His lives on a farm that has been in his family for many years. In the book he goes to talk with this farmer about how he grows his crops and the basic information about farming in general. George tells us about all the new and updated chemicals to help grow corn. But George likes to do things the old fashion way. He still uses the tractor that his father grew up with. The reason George doesn’t buy the new chemicals is because he is poor from paying more to plant the corn then he is making by growing it.
