A farmer grows food or animals as a job. But have you thought about why they are important? They grow the things we eat like vegetables. Lettuce and tomatoes are grown by farmers. So are beans, corn, and lettuce. We can thank farmers for fruits like peaches, apples, cherries, and pears. Think of what goes into a pizza. The cheese is made from milk and the sauce is made from tomatoes. The extras like mushrooms, peppers, and olives are also grown by farmers. And of course, the crust is made from flour which comes from wheat. So, no farmers, no pizza! Now you see how farmers are important to all of us!
