THE IMPORTANT THING ABOUT FARMS

by Amy Erwin and Shealon Cooper

The important thing about farms is they provide products for us to use.

Cattle are raised for many reasons including dairy and beef products. A female is called a cow, a male is called a bull and a baby is called a calf.

But, the most important thing about farms is they provide products for us to use.

Dairy Cow to Milk Carton

Dairy Cow to Milk Carton

• Physical Characteristics

- 4 legs, hooves, ears, eyes, tail, mouth and an udder (add udder after calf is on chart)

• Diet

- A cow grazes on grass, grain, hay and drinks water.

• Life Cycle

- A cow gives live birth to a calf.

- After she gives birth to the calf the cow’s udder fills with milk to feed the calf.

- The udder is a bag with 4 teats that the calf sucks on for milk. As the calf gets older it also eats grass, grain, and hay.

• Product

- On a dairy farm the milk a cow produces becomes a product for us.

- The cow is taken to a milking parlor. The milking machine is attached to the cow’s teats on the udder.

- The milk then goes through pipes to a cold storage tanks.

- A special truck that keeps the milk cold takes the milk from the milking tanks and transports it to the dairy plant.

- At the dairy plant the milk is pasteurized to kill the bacteria and then packaged. Some milk is packed in cartons like the milk we have in the school cafeteria.

- The milk can also be used to make cheese, ice cream, and pudding.

THE VERY NEEDY GROCER

(Narrative Input Text)

Story Adapted From King Bidgoods In the Bathtub

By Amy Erwin and Shealon Cooper

“Help! Help!” cried the grocer when the sun came up. My customers are in the store and there is no bacon! “Oh, who knows what to do?”

“I do!” cried the farmer when the sun came up.

“You can buy my pigs for a 100 bucks.”

“Help! Help!” cried the grocer when the sun got hot. My customers are in the store and there are no eggs! “Oh, who knows what to do?”

“I do!” cried the farmer when the sun got hot.

“You can gather my hen’s eggs for not a lot.”

“Help! Help!” cried the grocer when the sun went down. My customers are in the store and there is no milk! “Oh, who knows what to do?”

I do!” cried the farmer when the sun went down.

“You can milk my cows, do not frown.”

“Snore! Snore!” went the grocer when the moon shown bright, the grocery store was closed and all was right.

Poetry Book

GABBY’S FARM

This is the farm that Gabby built.

These are the sheep

That provide the wool

On the farm that Gabby built.

This is the sheep shearer,

Who shears the sheep,

That provide the wool

On the farm that Gabby built.

This is the wool room worker,

Who washes and spins the wool.

Taken from the sheep shearer,

Who shears the sheep,

That provide the wool

On the farm that Gabby built.

This is Gabby’s sister,

Who knits a warm sweater,

Using the wool she loves,

Taken from the wool room worker

Who washes and spins the wool.

Taken from the sheep shearer,

Who shears the sheep,

That provide the wool

On the farm that Gabby built.

S. Cooper

Farmyard Boogaloo

I’m a farmer and I’m here to say,

I work on my farm everyday.

Raising livestock is what I like to do,

Providing products for your family and you.

Livestock, farmers, equipment too,

Doing the Farmyard Boogaloo!

Feeding calves and cows, there is milking to do,

Mucking out stalls full of lots of poo.

Gathering eggs from the chickens’ nests,

Shearing the sheep, no time to rest.

Livestock, farmers, equipment too,

Doing the Farmyard Boogaloo!

Goats in a herd chewing their cud,

Piglets in the pen wallowing in mud

Different types of farmers working hard every day,

Bringing important products to the market for their pay.

Livestock, farmers, equipment too,

Doing the Farmyard Boogaloo!

S. Cooper & A. Erwin

FARMERS HERE, FARMERS THERE

Farmers here, farmers there,

Farmers, farmers everywhere!

Busy farmers shearing,

Happy farmers milking,

Tired farmers gathering,

And hungry farmers working.

Farmers in the field,

Farmers by the milk parlor,

Farmers on a tractor,

And farmers around the farm.

Farmers here, farmers there,

Farmers, farmers everywhere!

Farmers! Farmers! Farmers!
