It’s the reason why G takes off running down the sidewalk
every day to the white hoop building. It’s
the reason why we say things such as “It’s getting dark outside. Tractor needs
to go to sleep.”
In the next farm kid book, Fantastic Farm Machines, author Cris Peterson labels each set of
pages with a “special machine.” On the Corn Planter the author describes how
hybrid seed corn goes into the ground.
“Each tiny kernel, or seed, travels through a maze of metal
disks and tubes until it drops into the ground.
A packing wheel then covers the seed with dirt
In-action farm photographs taken by David R. Lundquist
capture men, women and children chopping hay, sitting inside tractor wheels and
holding ears of corn.
Pages 3 and 4 feature a G favorite. The one thing we can’t stop talking about.
“Track-ter.”
“Track-tee.”
Really if you think about it: riding in a 13-ton machine of
steel is not something every little boy can note on his resume (or….um…. his coloring book.)
