We saw chickens. The roosters were really noisy and chased each other around. Do you see the ladder thing? This is a roost were the chickens sleep.

The cows were curious and came to the fence. We petted them. They have hair and very long eyelashes.

We got to pet 'Susie', the chicken. She had very soft feathers.

We saw Pedro, the donkey. Donkeys are used to carry heavy loads. He was eating hay.

We noticed the ducks webbed feet and bills and learned that the preen themselves to spread oil on their feathers and become waterproof.

The geese also had bills. We didn't pet them because inside their bills they have razor-sharp teeth for grasping plants.

The goats were playful. The 'billy' even butted the 'kid' because he was in the way. We also noticed that the billy had a beard.

We didn't even get to see the pig's snouts because they were so busy eating. They are the smartest farm animal.

We all got to ride on Billy, the horse. Getting on and off the horse, using the stirrups, isn't as easy as it looks!

The lamb was resting. We learned how they sheer the wool. It is used for clothes and has lanolin for lotions and cosmetics.

The pot-belly pig, Tina was resting. She kept moving her kennel to the corner of her pen so he could be close the the cows.

Can you find their snood, beard, and wattle? Ask your favorite "K" Kid why the boy birds are fancier than the girl birds.

The llama is from South America. He is a cousing to a camel. His long hair needed to be sheared, and he didn't smell too pretty!

This tree was struck by lightning and the inside burned. Now its a house for animals. Most of our class could fit inside.

This is a cottonwood tree. It is Nebraska's state tree. This one is about 100 years old!

The farm has an overlook to view the fields and pastures. It is surrounded by the Missouri River on 3 sides.

Here is the field. The farmer hadn't planted it yet this year.

The farm has a pond. It has fish, frogs, and birds living there. Because it was so cold, we only saw fish.

This is a plow that was used in the early 1900's. It took 6 horses to pull this plow.

We saw field corn, sweet corn, Indian corn, popcorn, wheat, soybeans, and oats. Most of the foods that we eat contain one or more of these products.

These are the grain bins and the auger that the farmer uses to store the grain after it is harvested.

There was a scarecrow in the garden to keep the deer and birds away.

We got to bring an ear of popcorn back to school.

This is what it looked like it after we popped it in the microwave. It tasted delicious!
