Farming and agriculture are essential for food production and other important resources that support human accessibility and daily life. Farms are home to a variety of animals, including cows, sheep, horses, chickens, goats, ducks, pigs, and many more, each playing a unique and significant role that allows the farm to thrive. Particularly in the fall, you can find farmers harvesting pumpkins, corn, apples, squash, and potatoes.
