let's visit an American Farm want to play tug of war Dennis offered his pal Ottawa rope maybe later the lazy Bulldog stretched in his bed I'm enjoying my nap afraid you'll lose Dennis teased ruff ruff no way Otto perked up with a big yawn he followed his best friend to the backyard where they saw a strange sight a small white kitten was surrounded by piles of dirt dropping yellow seeds into the holes in the ground around her what are you doing Dennis was puzzled planting corn she exclaimed I'm planning a barbecue and you can't have a barbecue without corn wouldn't it be easier to just buy it at the store Otto suggested it'll take months to grow it in the yard Dennis agreed moms mom smidge's eyes widened I don't have time for that the grocery store was all out so what am I supposed to do how can the grocery store be out of corn anyways good question Dennis considered hey our old neighbor moved to Iowa to work on his family's Farm I bet he would know smidge scratched her head where's Iowa I don't know Auto Shrugged but I think we should find out get your overall smidge we're going to a farm Otto navigated a hot air balloon through the evening Sky smidge dug her claws into the basket of the balloon are you sure you like this Otto assured her and lucky for us there are no tornadoes in the forecast still can you go closer to the ground the kitten ducked down to hide Auto grinned as the breeze hit his face you're missing the view look at all that Farmland below it looks like a funny quilt smidge peaked over the edge as Otto steered them lower watch out for those metal trees she squealed as the balloon narrowly passed one by I'm not sure those are real trees Otto said with uncertainty he landed near a large cornfield smidge leaped out of the basket and smoothed her wind blown fur well they are the ugliest metal trees I've ever seen I agree a gentle steady voice welcomed the pair and a spotted cow approached them my name is Greta it's nice to have visitors I'm Otto and this is my friend smidge the Bulldog wagged his tail why are there so many metal trees around here ah great aside they're not trees they're wind turbines the government pays many farmers to have them on their land but we decided not to get them sadly ever since our neighbor put them up we don't see many birds because they get hit by the blades I almost thought you two were Birds coming down from the sky sorry to disappoint Otto said nonsense Greta laughed I'm so excited to have visitors Mr Acres will be delighted too right this way to Acres Farm Otto and smidge followed Greta eagerly when they arrived Mr Akers was on the porch of his Farmhouse cleaning off his boots he waved as Greta LED them over howdy Travelers I'm Henry Akers the farmer greeted come on in sun will be going down soon thank you Mr Akers Otto wiped his paws on the doormat I'm Otto and this is smidge we're friends of Dennis nerfall you're most welcome here Mr acre smiled why did you move here Mr Akers smidge asked closing the door behind them there's not a lot to do Mr Akers chuckled Softly actually there's more to do than anyone can handle alone this Farm has been in our family for generations and my father is getting older so I moved back here to help him wow smidge remarked how old is your farm over 150 years old Mr Akers proudly declared agriculture was an important part of our nation's birth and success some of our founding fathers including George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were farmers too really Otto was shocked I thought they were presidents those men had many skills that helped America George Washington even said he'd rather be on his farm than be emperor of the world Mr Akers leaned closer I feel the same way no way smidge gasped the emperor sounds more exciting than being a farmer well you'll find out tomorrow morning Mr Acres winked tomorrow Otto asked can't you show us the farm today the farmer stretched and yawned it's about bedtime for me I've got an early day tomorrow since you're here you two are welcome to help me smidge jumped up and down will you show us how to grow food I need to learn so I can host the best barbecue ever of course but for now I'll show you to your rooms for the night Mr Akers LED them upstairs don't forget to say your prayers he reminded them pray the rain holds off until we finish our planting Otto wrinkled his nose what does praying have to do with farming it takes Faith to work the land we're at the mercy of Nature and we do what we can but the rest the weather the crop the Harvest we leave in God's hands Mr Acres explained I never thought about that Otto admitted I'm happy to help by praying me too smidge added thank you Mr Akers bid them good night sleep well you too the bulldog and kitten chimed a rooster's booming Crow echoed at sunrise smidge barged into Otto's room and shook him awake Acres let me drive the tractor and it was so fun Auto groaned too early I'm enjoying my sleep everyone else is up smidge pulled the Bulldog off the bed and we agreed to help so come on Auto trudged after the energetic kitten I still half closed outside the farm was bustling with activity as everyone got to work the same rooster who woke them up scurried over I'm Mr hightail do you two have a task Otto and smidge shook their heads copy that Mr hightails surveyed the farm you too will plant some new crops before the rain hits once that soil gets wet we can't plant anymore so we better get to it I hope you too said your prayers they nodded and quickly followed the rooster to a dirt field Otto and smidge dove into their work but it wasn't long before Otto stopped to take a break this is hard work Auto wiped sweat off his face how does Mr Akers do this every day Mr hightail appeared again it's not time for a break yet we've got a schedule to keep Mr hightail I I don't understand how this works how do we get our food after we plant the seeds smidge asked yes of course the rooster paced as he explained it's a detailed process once you plant a seed you must care for it by pulling weeds watering and fertilizing the crops keeping the pests away and that's just while it's growing during Harvest you then have to prepare the crops to be sent to Distributors who get them to the grocery stores smidge's head spun that's more work than I thought I didn't realize how important farmers are Otto knotted all that works so we can easily go to the store and buy our food okay smidge no more chatting let's work Mr hightail beamed that's thus now pick up pick up landed before the rain Otto nudged smidge I know what will make this go faster a tractor I get to drive smidge squealed with Glee great idea Mr hightail agreed I'll set it up with dark clouds looming Mr hightail attached a planter to the tractor smidgeon auto drove it through the field planting the seeds in neat rows we're going to get it done Otto cheered I just felt a raindrop smidge's first stood up Mr hightail crowed as they made it to the end of the field just in time everyone is heading inside to eat while the storm passes through I think our prayers were answered smidge Otto said definitely smidge replied rain began to pitter-patter against the ground inside the warm Farmhouse a delicious Aroma greeted them and a feast stretched across the dining table smidge nearly collapsed I'm so hungry Mr Akers gave a prayer of thankfulness for the food and everyone dug in wow that's the best milk I've ever had smidge lapped the last drop from her cup all these vegetables have so much flavor Otto declared it's all fresh Mr Acres reminded them I want to grow my own fresh food smidge decided I think I'll start a garden when we get home a much neater Garden this time Otto teased thanks for letting us see your farm Mr Akers I can't wait to try everything I've learned the kitten purd with pride Auto barked thank you for letting us help and learn you two are welcome anytime Mr Akers smiled I'll give you some Acres Farm produce to take home to as soon as the hot air balloon touched the ground in the backyard Otto and smidge jumped out to greet Dennis he gave them a big hug how was your trip it was so fun autohald but lots of hard work too Mr acres is a kind man and we learn to appreciate where our food comes from yeah and I got to drive attractors smidge jumped in there's so much that goes into growing food I've decided to start my own garden Dennis was impressed I can't wait to see what you grow that was my favorite adventure yet Auto cheered you say that every time Otto smidge giggled ruff ruff the bulldog and kitten unloaded the boxes of fresh food from the hot air balloon you're all invited to my barbecue tomorrow I hope you like corn smidge's grin stretched ear to ear the end I told you Farms were fun you know owning and operating a farm isn't easy Farmers have to worry about all sorts of things that we don't even think about when we go to the store to buy what we need there's bad weather pests having enough water and so many other things if you have food to eat thank a farmer because we are so thankful for their hard work all year round wow smidge Auto this
