Welcome!
Hello, Susiechonai, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:57, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Notes on draft
Hi! Your contributions to agriculture in the US were good, my only notes were that some sections were written a bit like an essay and to be careful about sourcing. With the sourcing, some of the citations were studies, which should be generally avoided if possible. The reason for this is that the study is a primary source for their findings (especially if they have a potential bias or conflict of interest) and in order to really verify them we would have to find an independent, reliable source that discusses their research. Something else to be careful about is that there's a level of original research in this since we're effectively choosing one study over another - someone could come in and question why one study was chosen over another that could have been equally as good. Finally, studies often focus on very specific groups and areas, so what is true for one group (for example, farmers in Nebraska) may not be true for farmers in another group (ie, farmers in California). As far as essay tones go, this is mostly just that you have to be careful on wording and phrasing, as writing with a persuasive or narrative style is fine with essays, but not as much with Wikipedia. This part I actually cleaned up a little on the article, so it's the sourcing that would be the only true concern at this point. The overall additions look good, though.
