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!
