Modern Farms

Modern farms are pretty neat! They give us all enough to eat! This award-winning picture book introduces young children to food production and farm life with accurate depictions of 21st century agriculture. Rhyming verse and bright, attention-getting illustrations teach about the many different types of farms, from row crops, to fruits and vegetables, to farm animals.

Jackie Nix, herself an agricultural scientist, uses her knowledge and artistic skills to proudly tell the story of farm life and specialized farming technology used to grow food today in the United States. Modern farms are as specialized and diverse as the many delicious foods they provide for us.

Whether they are big or small, farms grow the food for one and all!
