Kids Say…

Every week we ask five St. Joseph area students a question about farming.
Today, five students from PVO South tell us what they think a farmer does. This post is sponsored by Longview Bank.

Here are their answers.

Ella: A farmer feeds cattle and they have crops.

Lane: They rake the leavs. They brush the hourses.

Eli: A farmer uselly has cattle, so he would feed the animals, give water to the animals and give them exercise.

James: A farmer plants his or her own crops.

Allie: A farmer gardens.
