Before farmers have any cows they have to have a place to put them
30 pairs of cows and calves can live on 50 acresThe grass has to be fertilized and healthy for the cows to eat
BeefSlide4
Calves as young as 6-7 weeks can be sold for veal
Most calves are taken to the sell barn around 6-7 months of age
BeefSlide5
The cows are bought from a stocker or feeder
They are then taken to feed lots or holding pens and are then butchered
BeefSlide6
The beef is then sent to packers
Then to grocery stores
Finally to consumers!

Apples start by growing on trees in an apple orchard
The orchard needs good soil, a watering system, and sufficient sunlight for the apples to growEach tree should be planted about 5-7 feet apart in rows
ApplesSlide8
Color:
Watch for apples to change to the ripe color: from green to yellow, for yellow apples; for red ones, a change from the basic dull green under color to bright yellows and red.
Seeds:
Until it is ripe, an apple usually has white seeds. Then they turn brown.
ApplesSlide9
Feel:
A ripe apple will have a waxy coating that makes the apple appear polished
Taste:
When the apple on the tree begins to lose its decided tartness
ApplesSlide10
To pick an apple, bend it upward quickly. If it is ready, it will break cleanly and not tear the
spur as it comes.

Apples are then delivered to store. The can go from roadside stands to major stores.

To grow a tomato you have to start with a seed.
When conditions are within range, evenly moist with soil temperatures approximately 70 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit, the seed germinates, swells and cracks open.
TomatoesSlide13
The first root starts to sprout.
It grows down to create the root structure of the plant. The rest of the seed pushes up above the soil line, and the cotyledons become the first leaves that photosynthesize nutrients for the plant. The emergence of the cotyledon leaves usually takes about four to 10 days from germination, depending on the variety of tomato.
TomatoesSlide14
It takes about 65 – 100 days for the fruit to appear

Depending on the weather it should take about 14 weeks for the tomato to fully ripen.
Once ripened the grower picks the tomato and it is ready to be shipped to stores!Slide16

Instead of learning how bread gets to the grocery store, lets learn how to make our own!
BreadSlide18
To make three homemade loaves of bread you will need
3 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast1/3 cup honey
5 cups bread flour3 tablespoons butter, melted1/3 cup honey1 tablespoon salt
3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour2 tablespoons butter, melted1 oven
BreadSlide19
Directions
First you must mix warm water, yeast, and honey. Add 5 cups of white bread flus and stir to mix them all togetherLet the mixture set for 30 minutes.Then mix in melted butter and 1/3 cup of honey and salt. Stir in 2 cups of whole wheat flour.
Flour a flat surface and knead with whole wheat flour until not real sticky - just pulling away from the counter, but still sticky to touch
. This may take an additional 2 to 4 cups of whole wheat flour. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to coat the surface of the dough. Cover with a dishtowel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled.Punch down, and divide into 3 loaves. Place in greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pans, and allow to rise until dough has topped the pans by one inch.Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes; do not over bake
. Lightly brush the tops of loaves with 2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine when done to prevent crust from getting hard. Cool completely
BreadSlide20
Vocabulary words for making bread
Knead – to work (dough, clay, etc.) into a uniform mixture by pressing, folding, and stretching Coat – a layer of anything that covers a surfacePrevent – to keep from occurring

Banana plants can grow quite large. The space set out to accommodate them should be big enough for the dimensions of 7.6
m or 25' tall, with leaves up to 2.7 m or 9' longBanana plants are often mistaken for trees but are actually considered a plant.
BananasSlide23
Banana plants like:
Rich, dark, fertile soils.Lots of mulch and organic matter. LOTS. Just keep piling it on.Lot of nitrogen and potassium. (Chicken manure!)Steady warmth, not too hot and not too cold. (Bananas are sissies when it comes to temperatures...)
Steady moisture, in the ground and in the air.The shelter of other bananas! That's the most overlooked aspect by home growers...Banana plants dislike:Strong winds.Extreme heat or cold.
Being hungry or thirsty.Being alone and exposed.BananasSlide24
Most bananas are produced in tropical regions: Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, and Panama
Most farmers leave their bananas on the tree for about 5 months.If they are going to eat them they will leave them until they turn yellow.If they are shipping them to grocery stores the bananas will be picked sooner so that they don’t over ripen on the trip to the store and they stay fresh longer for consumers.
