Growing crops

The children were lucky enough to have farmer Jake talk to them about the crops he is growing this year on the farm. He showed them some plants and explained what each one would go to make.

The children learned about the beans that will be exported to Egypt to make houmous . The farm are also growing barley which goes to the Carling factory to make lager, the wheat goes to make flour and the oil seed rape that goes to make the lovely yellow oil.
