Responsibilities of a farmer
Farmers are very busy people that work long and hard days
There are three major responsibilities that farmers have 1 Crop management
Taking care of the plants
2 Livestock management Taking care of the animals
3 Machine maintenance Fixing machines that break
Taking care of crops are just one of the many
duties a farmer has
The farmer needs to plan out
what crop should be grown at
specific times during the year
You canrsquot just pick a crop and plant it
when you want There are two things you
need to know when planting crops
1 When to plant
Many crops can only be planted at certain
times of the year when it is warm
2 How much to grow
Farmers decide how much of a crop they
want to grow before planting it
Crops need to be
planted at a specific
time during the year or
else they could die from
the cold weather
Farmers plant crops
during this time
because it is the best
time for them to grow
Lets take a look at a crop schedule
to see when itrsquos a good time to
plant crops
Seeds cost money so farmers need to
know exactly how much they are going
to grow
Farmers calculate how much land they
have and how much seed they will need
to plant each crop
Letrsquos see how farmers plant their crops
Farmers also need to take care of
livestock
Livestock Animals that are raised on a
farm so we can use them for work or eat
them
Farmers feed and give water to the
animals they raise so they can grow big
and strong
A few animals that farmers take care of
are
Cows
A baby cow
is called a
calf
Farmers also take care of Pigs
A baby pig
is called a
piglet
Farmers also take care of Chickens
A baby
chicken is
called a
chick
Farmers need to use machines to make their job easier
Sometimes the machines they use break down and the farmers have to fix them
Lets look at some machines that farmers use
Now that we know what a farmer does letrsquos
take a look at the whole process of farming
1 First the farmer plants the seeds in the
ground He can use his hands but the seed drill
is faster
2 Once the seed is planted the farmer waters
the seed and gives it fertilizer
3 When the crop is big enough the farmer
harvests the crop Harvest means to cut down
and sell
Letrsquos see how the corn gets harvested
3 After the farmer harvests the crop he takes it
to the market to sell it
Color all of the objects in the handout
Then cut each object out and gluetape
them together to make your own farm
Write down the animals and plants that
will be found on your farm
