The
Joys of Farming
A
farm is like a play, with acts going on.
Crops
are like angels, coming to feed people.
Animals
are important parts of farms.
There
is usually a vivid red barn somewhere--like a maraschino cherry.
A
farm is very busy, like an at colony.
Silos
are tall giants, protecting the farm.
Pastures
keep the animals in.
There
are gardens like jewels, on a farm.
Agriculture
is a fancy name for farming.
Every
spring, it is time to plant the earthen seeds.
Farming
can be hard work, and hurt like an ax cutting into your back.
Farming
can also be fun, gathering the fruits of your hard labor.
Farming
is important to everyone!
