Kids say…

Every week we ask students at local schools three questions related to farming. This week we spoke to students at PVO South in Ogden.

If you were a farmer what would you have on your farm?
Ericka: I would have pigs, cows, sheep, goats, and chickens. And I would grow wheat, corn and vegetables.

Grace: Pigs, Horses, cows, bull, rabbits.

Kellyn: I would have horses to ride, chickens and cow for meat, and I would grow corn.

Leigha: I would like to have some cowes, pigs and a field.

Wyatt: If I was a farmer I would have a lot of animals like horses, sheep, cows and chickens. And I would have a couple of fields to grow corn and wheat.
