"In this volume, readers are introduced to the key concepts of farm and forestry management. The day-to-day responsibilities farmers and loggers face can be both fun and dangerous. Heavy machinery must be cared for properly Animals must also be cared for and their waste must be disposed of in a responsible manner. This book touches on topics including the importance of agriculture, farm runoff, responsible harvesting, and reforestation, as well as how these events affect Earth's landscape. Photogrpahs and sidebars offer additional chances to learn."-- Provided by publisher.
