Chapter 1 All About Farms There are many different types of farm. On some farms, there are animals. We get meat, milk, eggs, and wool from animals. On some farms, there are crops. Crops are plants that we eat or use. We get bread, fruit, and vegetables from crops. On some farms, there are animals and crops. There are small farms and big farms all around the world. On small farms, there are animals and crops for the farmer's family. On big farms, there are animals and crops for many people. Farmers work every day. They feed and care for animals, and they plant and grow crops.

Chapter 2 Crops Crops only grow in the right weather, and with water and good soil. Bananas and pineapples only grow in hot weather. Strawberries and other soft fruit grow in cool weather. Discover! A lot of sugar comes from a crop called sugar cane. Sugar cane can grow 9 meters high! Rice only grows in lots of water. Many farmers grow rice in terraces. Some farmers cut rice terraces into mountains. Wheat grows in big fields. We make flour from wheat. We use flour to make bread, pasta, and cakes.

Chapter 3 Growing Crops Some farmers have tractors and lots of big machines to help them to grow crops. Some farmers don't have big machines. First, farmers plow the fields. Then they plant seeds. The seeds grow into plants. In hot weather, farmers give the plants lots of water. Some farmers put chemicals on their crops. Chemicals help crops to grow, and they stop animals eating crops. Some farmers grow crops with no chemicals. These are called organic crops. Later, farmers cut or pick the crops. This is called the harvest. Discover! Cotton is a crop! Cotton comes from big white flowers on the cotton plant.
