Our Trip to the Engel Farm to see

Corn Harvesting and Hogs

by

Gates Kindergarten Students

We live in Nebraska. We have been learning about fall. Farmers in Nebraska harvest their crops in the fall. We went on a field trip to watch corn being harvested and to see a hog farm. Our class visited Chris and Lori Engel's farm. When we arrived we climbed onto a hay rack filled with hay bales to sit on. We rode to the corn field where they were harvesting corn. Moms and Dads went with us. A hay rack is a neat way to travel!

During the ride to the field we saw corn fields filled with brownish yellow stalks of corn waiting to be harvested. We sang songs about "Mr. Engel had a farm...". It was fun and very cold! We all remembered to wear warm clothes. In Nebraska it can be very cold in the fall.
