Pasture Cow-Culations | Activity Sheet

Beef cattle eat grass for most of their life. Grass gives them a balanced diet! Cattle eat grass on land that often could not be used to grow other crops. In fact, 2/3 of the grazing land in the U.S. could not grow other crops! Cattle use this land to turn grass into food for people! Cattle graze on large areas of land. Fences surround some land. This land is called a pasture. Pastures are measured in acres. One acre is about the size of a football field. Rancher Kara wants to combine some of her pastures. Look at each group of pastures. Add up the acres in the pastures to find out the number of total acres.

My American Farm | Passport

Every year, America’s farmers and ranchers work hard to feed, clothe and fuel the world. They take care of animals and the natural resources we have on earth, like land and water. In fact, most farmers and ranchers will tell you that they started working in agriculture because they love animals and the land. They want to care for them so that students like you can enjoy these great things in the future.

Nitrogen Cycle Knowledge | Learning Activity

All living things need carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Plants and animals need nitrogen, but they can’t use the nitrogen that is in the air--it has to be “fixed” or changed a little first. This is where the plants, including peanut plants, come in handy! Starting with the yellow dot representing nitrogen in the air, draw arrows connecting the objects below to complete the nitrogen cycle.
