New Book Helps Kids Connect with Soybean Farms

At a time of record-high interest in how food is produced, a new children’s picture book about soybean farming offers a valuable resource to parents and educators alike.
 
The American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture’s Feeding Minds Press released a new book, today, My Family’s Soybean Farm, along with a companion educator guide.
 
This third title from Feeding Minds follows the farm adventures of Alexander, who takes readers on a tour of his family’s soybean farm, showing how soybeans are planted, grown and harvested, technology used on the farm, pest management techniques, and the many different products soybeans are used in. My Family’s Soybean Farm, geared for grades K-2, combines illustrations with real photographs and includes a glossary to explain farm tools and practices.
