• RST.11-12.7 Integrate and evaluate multiple
  sources of information presented in diverse
  formats and media (e.g., quantitative data,
  video, multimedia) in order to address a question
  or solve a problem. (HS-LS2-6),(HSLS2-7),(HS-LS2-8
  )
• RST.11-12.9 Synthesize information from a range
  of sources (e.g., texts, experiments,
  simulations) into a coherent understanding of a
  process, phenomenon, or concept, resolving
  conflicting information when possible. (HS-LS3-1)

  in the United States.

• Poultry

Interest Approach

• Show students examples or pictures of a variety
  of food products that come from animals. Have the
  students name which animal they came from. Next,
  have the students discuss the last time they
  consumed these products. Prompt students to
  consider how frequently these products are
  consumed overall. Continue with the lesson.

What are the roles of consumers?
8

• I. Consumers are the people who eat, wear, and
  use goods and services. Everyone is a consumer.
  Consumers want high quality, nutritious, low
  price food products. Agricultural producers are
  continuously trying to meet consumer demand.

9

• A. Currently, the worlds population is nearly
  approximately 7 billion. That number will nearly
  double by the year 2050. With that many people in
  the world food production is crucial.

10

• B. Consumption is the use of goods and services
  that have value. The amount of goods and services
  that people consume is recorded and reported as
  the per capita consumption.

11

• C. Per capita consumption is the average amount
  consumed per person per year. Keeping track of
  consumption and consumer preferences allows
  producers to provide products that are in demand.

12

• D. Each year, American farmers produce enough
  goods for each American to eat 105 pounds of red
  meat, 16 pounds of fish, 30 pounds of eggs, 46
  pounds of pork, and 70 pounds of poultry. It is
  also estimated that the average American consumes
  580 pounds of dairy products per year. Currently,
  the total value of the United States agriculture
  industry is 115 billion.

13
What is the scope of food animal production in
the United States?
14

• III. There are five major areas of the food
  animal production industry. These areas are
  dairy, beef, poultry, swine, and sheep. Each area
  produces its own specific products. These
  products count towards the total annual value of
  agricultural products.

15
A. In the United States, milk is sold by the
hundred weigh. Dairy products are made from milk.
A dairy product is milk or any product in which
milk is the major ingredient. Examples of dairy
products include yogurt, cheese, and ice cream.
The major dairy producing states are California,
Wisconsin, New York, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota.
New Mexico is the leader in production per cow
and is a top five cheese producing state.
16
B. Beef is the meat produced from cattle. Beef is
the most widely eaten meat in the United States.
The major beef producing states are Texas,
Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri.
17

• C. Poultry are fowl that are raised on farms and
  used for food. There are two segments of the
  poultry industry, meat and eggs. Meat is produced
  primarily from chickens, turkeys, and ducks. Eggs
  are produced from chickens. More than 31 billion
  pounds of meat and 93 billion eggs are produced
  annually. The top five egg producing states Iowa,
  Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana and California. The
  top five broiler producing states area Georgia,
  Arkansas, Alabama, North Carolina and
  Mississippi.

18

• D. The swine industry produces an average of 23
  billion pounds of pork products each year. The
  top five hog producing states are Iowa, Illinois,
  North Carolina, Minnesota, and Nebraska.
• E. The U.S. sheep production industry is made up
  of 75,000 producers. The top five sheep producing
  states are Colorado, Texas, California, Wyoming,
  and South Dakota. Lamb consumption averages less
  than one pound in the US.
