Just remember, farms are like countryside
factories. They are not parks or
playgrounds. Farming is the world's oldest
industry – it began around 7000 years ago.
Once, all farm-work was done by hand or
by using animals. Today, farmers use
machinery and chemicals to get the most
food from the land. There are many different
types of farms. Some farmers keep cows
only, while others just grow crops.
