Let's learn about farm machines

"Modern farms cover vast areas of land, so when it comes time to apply fertilizer or a protective insecticide, spraying equipment is . . . useful. In this . . . text, young readers are introduced to all kinds of sprayers. They find out about the huge piece of equipment that moves on its own, pull-behind models, and the smaller piece that is pulled by an all-terrain vehicle"--Provided by publisher.

"Without harvesting machines to gather crops when they're ready, farming would be much more difficult and time-consuming. In the pages of this . . . book, budding farmers will . . . learn how these . . . pieces of equipment operate through . . . accessible language and . . . photographs of machines at work. Fact boxes add . . . information throughout the narrative, while a concluding activity helps readers review essential concepts they should retain"--Provided by publisher.

"Thousands of years ago, farmers had to plant even the tiniest seeds by hand. Luckily, inventors eventually created modern farming machines that can plant seeds in just a fraction of the time it once took. Find out how these devices work through accessible text, . . . fact boxes, and . . . color photographs that complement key concepts"--Provided by publisher.
