Come along in the activity book as Farmer Joe and Farmer Maria show you how we all depend on farming. Think about your clothes, paper shoes, toothpaste and basketball? Do you ever wonder what these products all have in common?

They all come from AGRICULTURE! Follow these two Farmers and learn where your clothes come from. Have fun seeing and coloring all that agriculture provides (it is more than you could ever imagine).
