In the United States, each farm family lives on its own fields, and often can’t see any people living around. Instead of travelling from a village to the fields every morning, American farmers stay on their land all the week. They travel to the nearest town on Saturdays for shopping or on Sundays for church. The children ride on buses to large schools which serve all of the farm families living in the area. In some areas, there are not big schools serving a few families, and the children walk to school. Of course life keeps changing for everyone, including farmers. Today there are cars, good roads, radios, and television set. And of course there are modern machines for farming. All of these have changed farm life. For many years, farmers had to deal with their own problems, instead of getting help from others. They learned to try new methods (方法) and to believe their own ideas instead of following old ways.
