Long before there were ever such places as a grocery store, folks had to get their food from the farmer. Now that there are grocery stores, folks still rely on the farmer. Where do you think the grocery stores get the variety of meat, vegetables and fruits that we eat? From the farm, that's where. Without the farmer, you wouldn't be able to enjoy bacon and eggs or a cheeseburger and French fries. The farmer provides more than just food. Did you know that you wouldn't be able to play baseball or football if it weren't for the farmer? It's true. Farmers provide the ingredients to make lipstick, shampoo, shaving cream, automobile tires and even piano keys. Farmers need help in accomplishing all they do. Before the days of machinery like tractors and combines, farmers used their animals to plow the fields and harvest the crops. They had help from their trusty companion, the farm dog. They even relied on the wind to help with some chores. When does a pig become a hog? What can you do with a corn cob? Why do pigs roll in the mud? You can learn all this and more by reading about the farmer and the barnyard.
