Debber Learns About Tractors and Farm Machinery - Hardcover

Debber has done a lot of traveling in her eight years, but she's never seen tractors and farmland as big as what she sees near her family's new piece of land in Illinois. Her Daddy takes her to Alliance Tractor in Newton, Illinois to see many of the large pieces of farm machinery up close. First Debber learns that crops grown and livestock raised in the "Heartland of America" feed not only the United States but the world. She learns about the planting cycle, how important watching the weather is and how much hard work farmers do. Debber also finds out how tractors and other farm machinery help with the hard work of farming. She sees and learns about tractors, combines, seeders, planters and sprayers, as well as the many attachments of some equipment (like headers and sickles). Debber and Daddy make even a trip to a tractor store fun and educational.
