Farming

Farming takes a year-round look at two kinds of agriculture — cattle ranching and vegetable farming. This engaging picture book uses a combination of fact and fiction to introduce young children to the people, machines and environmental concerns involved in an important resource-based industry. The America at Work series fills a need for primary-level information on natural resources, and Farming helps children appreciate the work involved in bringing food products to their homes.

This book in the America at Work series introduces the people, machines and environmental concerns involved in farming.
