goatling: A goatling is a female goat between the ages of one and two years, which has not yet borne a kid. Understanding goat development stages helps farmers manage breeding programs and improve herd health.

glyphosate: Glyphosate is a systemic herbicide effective against a wide range of species. Some crops are genetically modified to tolerate it. Farmers can use glyphosate to manage weed growth efficiently, leading to higher crop yields and reduced labor costs.

government assistance: Government assistance includes financial aid in the form of grants and subsidies for farmers. Accessing these funds supports farm development and sustainability, helping farmers invest in new technologies and infrastructure.

greens: Greens are green vegetables such as cabbages. Growing and marketing greens meets consumer demand for fresh, nutritious vegetables, supporting farm income and health.

grain pan: A grain pan is the part of a combine where threshed grain collects and is shaken through to the bottom of the machine. Understanding combine mechanics helps farmers maintain equipment and optimize grain collection, improving efficiency.

gelding: A castrated horse. Geldings are often easier to manage and are suitable for work and recreational purposes.

genetic manipulation: Same as genetic modification. Genetic manipulation techniques enable the development of crops and livestock with enhanced characteristics, aiding farmers in achieving higher efficiency and sustainability.

greenhouse gas: A greenhouse gas is a gas that occurs naturally or is produced by burning fossil fuels and rises into the atmosphere, forming a barrier that prevents heat loss. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions supports sustainable farming and environmental health.

GMGM: 1. Genetically modified 2. Genetic modification. Understanding GM technology helps farmers adopt crops with beneficial traits, such as pest resistance or drought tolerance, enhancing productivity and sustainability.

grass: Grass is a flowering monocotyledon, including wheat, barley, and rice. Managing grass crops effectively provides essential food for herbivores and humans, supporting farm sustainability.
