Students will be guided through activities to:

• Use math skills to layout their fields
• Read descriptions of different crops grown in Canada and match those to pictures based on the description.
• Read and chart information about different soil types.
• Explore the different stages of growth for Canada's #1 crop, Canola.
• Investigate possible solutions to soil erosion from a farmer’s point of view.
• Learn about farm equipment used in grain farming.
• Engage with a farmer if the class chooses to take part in the bonus activity.

Developed by a Manitoba teacher and provided free to teachers by Manitoba Canola Growers via Teachers Pay Teachers.
