After the crops are grown, it’s harvest time. On large farms, this is a huge job. Luckily, there are some huge machines to help out. Harvesters are devices that pick crops and sometimes even sort the parts of the plant we use from those we don’t. Readers will enjoy learning about these ingenious farm machines almost as much as they’ll love seeing them at work in the field in the bright photos of this fun volume.

Sowing crops on a farm would be backbreaking working without the machines called planters. These tractor-pulled tools can look quite different. Some are small, sowing just one row, and some can plant as many as 48 rows at a time! Readers will find out how these machines work and see their parts in motion in labeled photographs. They’ll also discover how technology is changing this farm machine as well as some other seeding devices.
