Marike and Julius: Discover the farm with us

This is how a farm works Tractors and combine harvesters are familiar to all children. But Marike and Julius are also familiar with power harrows and seed drills, because whenever they go on vacation to their aunt and uncle's farm, they are allowed to help with the work and have everything explained to them in detail. Together with the two children, readers of elementary school age discover the farm. How does a plow work? What are the plants in the field called? What do cows eat in the barn?
