Saturday morning we went to Charlottesville to pick peaches. I had the similar experience in China, but what I did at that time was to pick strawberries and apples.
Before entering the peach garden, we were told that the peaches were allowed to eat on the spot. So we tried some, and they were very tasty. The only thing that troubled me at that moment was the small bugs flying around my head.
On the whole, it was a cool experience, and it reminded me of the funny book I read which was entitled I Became A Farmer in America written by a famous journalist in China. It seems to me that a farmer's life is much more sweet in the US than in China. It probably is because there is a large population in China with relatively few land, and the technologies in rural areas so far have not been very widely applied. But through NBC news, I also learned that farmers in America seem also not satisfied with their current condition. They want more government subsidiaries and they want to make more money out of their products.
Agriculture is always the top issue of a country. The benefits of farmers should always be put in a significant position. That's what I learned from the experience of picking peached in Charlottesville.
