Description
Mary Lewandowski works on her family’s dairy farm in Wisconsin. Her great-great-great-grandparents founded the farm more than a hundred years ago. Today, the farm has some fifty cows that must be fed, milked, and kept happy and healthy. Corn and alfalfa need to be planted and harvested for their feed. It’s all a lot of work for Mary, but she loves her cows, and they provide us with milk to drink, cheese and ice cream to eat, and many other delicious dairy treats.
Welcome to My Farm is a fun and illuminating look at farm life in the heart of America’s Dairyland. Presenting a day in the life of a small dairy farm, the book shares fascinating facts about dairy cows and the crops that farmers grow. Readers will also meet cuddly kittens and Mary’s two collies, Buffy and Buddy!
Young readers will find the answers to many common dairy-farm questions, such as:
- How do you milk a cow?
- What types of food are made from cow’s milk?
- How much does a cow eat and drink in a day?
- How much does a calf weigh when it’s born?
- What types of crops do dairy farmers grow?
- What do farmers use tractors for?
- What happens in a silo?
Illustrated with dozens of color photos, Welcome to My Farm helps young readers age four and up understand and appreciate how dairy farms work and the central role that agriculture plays in the food we eat.
