Farming in the USA today is very different from that 100 years ago. In those days, farmers did not have machines to help them. They had . But animals worked slowly. So the farms were smaller than they are now. Farmers also worked in a different way in the past. In those days, farmers grew fruits and vegetables and kept cows, pigs, and chickens to their families. Today farmers grow things on the farms so they can sell them.

A lot of bad weather means farmers will money. Finally,farmers work with plants and animals. They understand nature better than other people do. Farm work changes the seasons. Spring is a time for planting and sowing (播种). In summer, farmers must of the plants. Some may need water. Other plants may have with insects or diseases. Then in autumn, the fruits or plants are ready for picking. That is a very busy time for farmers. Winter is a time for rest or for work on the farm machines.
