The BEST Agriculture Books for Kids - Jessie Jarvis

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I am, without a doubt, a book lover to my core. Early on, I fell in love with books and was a child who was constantly nose-deep into a new story. When Jhett's teacher was looking for volunteers for our school's Book Fair, I quickly volunteered. During my time at the Book Fair, I was shocked to see there wasn't a single agriculture or farm-animal book offered to kids. With the help of my community, I put together a list of almost 100 best agriculture books for kids.

Before we get to the list, there are a couple of other ag + western book-related resources that I want to share:

Wild West Kidz Books - This is a children's book subscription, that can be mailed as frequently (or infrequently) as you choose. Wildwest Kidz will deliver a box of three (3) carefully curated western-theme picture books to your mailbox each month. Becky only selects books with themes of farming, ranching, and rodeo. In addition to the books, each box comes with crafts and fun activities for your child that will encourage and grow those "rural roots." This subscription would make a great gift to give to your own kids, friends, or family member. One could also gift a subscription box to your local school.

American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture - The American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture has a great list of recommended publications for children, all of which are centered around farming, gardening, and ranching.

Now, to debut the 100 best agriculture books for kids, listed alphabetically, by title:

Farm Kids Book – WhiteBarn Hay and Cattle
Inspired by  an idea by Wink Crigler of the X Diamond Ranch, this is the personal perspective of stewardship of the land from two young girls ages 9 and 11 who are growing up on a farm/ranch/feeding operation.  Modern kids sharing their unique and real ranch life story in the 2020’s.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Farm Kids, Growing Up WhiteBarn, tells the real story of what it is like growing up in a culture of stewardship of the land from the perspective of two young girls. At the respective ages of eight and nine, Hannah and Haidyn Barnard have shared a glimpse of their farm life in a way that invites young readers to become active in their contribution to the successful operation of the family farm. These home-schooled children describe the practicality of the classroom learning and farm duties, such as weighing and counting cattle and the efficient use of water. They live the life of food - from the farm to the table.

The inspiration of the book project came from our good friend Wink Crigler, owner of the X Diamond Ranch in Greer, AZ. We have done a lot of business with Wink since we met in 2012, and she has a special relationship with Haidyn and Hannah. Wink had an idea that the girls had a story to tell about growing up on a farm/ranch/feedlot operation, and that there would be a lot of folks who would love to read about kids growing up in agriculture in Arizona in 2020. It took a little convincing because we, just like most people in ag, don't think anything of our story. In fact, we think it's probably boring, or uninteresting...because it's what we live! But the girls got on board, and before long, they were taking pictures, writing notes, and making preparations to share their story. Wink had an idea, a vision of what it might turn into, and as she has said, the girls took off with it, made it their own, and did a fabulous job of telling their story of a year on their farm. We are so thankful that Wink, Barb Denny, and Scott T. Baxter took the girls under their arms and turned this into such an amazing book.

Teaching kids about where their food comes from through ag-accurate books has always been a passion of mine.
I wrote my first children’s book in 2011, and the collection continues to grow! I can’t wait to share my fourth book - illustrated by the incredibly talented Michelle Weber Studio.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Several years ago, I noticed that the number of agriculturally-accurate kids books available in the marketplace were pretty minimal. Now as a mom to three sweet kiddos who love reading books each night, it's become painfully obvious that the list of books that actually reflect what agriculture life is truly about is incredibly short.

Think about it. So many of today's mainstream books about farm and ranch life feature a cow who is standing on his back legs and talking to the other barnyard animals. The people are often the secondary characters to the humanized animals. Or worse, the rancher is the "bad guy" in the story, and the animals must learn to thrive despite human intervention.

I hoped to change that, and I wanted to give kids stories about farm and ranch life that celebrated the people in agriculture and highlighted the wonderful ways we care for the land and the livestock.

Teaming up alongside talented illustrator Michelle Weber and an incredible graphic designer Tracy McMurphy, we created a business called Ag Storytellers, and we are currently seeking partners for our next project! Learn more here.
Levi's Lost Calf
In 2011, I wrote my first children's book, "Levi's Lost Calf," and since then, I've traveled across the country reading the book to thousands of elementary school kids. The story (which is geared for K-2 grades) introduces readers to a young cowboy named, Levi, who rides out one crisp fall morning to bring the cattle home from the pasture. After a head count, Levi is surprised to discover that one calf is missing. Little Red, his favorite heifer calf, is nowhere to be found. Determined to prove to his parents that he is a responsible rancher, Levi rides out with his horse, Pepper, and his trusty dog, Gus, to find Little Red. On his search, readers see an abundance of wildlife who also call the ranch home. The takeaway of the story is ranching provides habitat for not only livestock, but other creatures, too. The book shows young readers the "cowboy way!"

"Levi's Lost Calf" has been used in several state Ag In The Classroom programs and has also been endorsed by the American Farm Bureau Foundation as an agriculturally-accurate book. Please inquire about wholesale pricing and accompanying lessons plans for "Levi's Lost Calf." Email Amanda at amanda.radke@live.com for details.
Can-Do Cowkids
"Can-Do Cowkids" officially released in 2019. This farm-themed book (geared for 2-4 grades) was inspired by my three cowkids, Scarlett, Thorne and Croix, who are featured characters in the book. The story takes readers on an adventure around the farm while also introducing fun careers in agriculture.

According to the USDA, between 2015 and 2020, there will be an average of 57,900 annual openings for college graduates with expertise in food, agriculture, renewable natural resources and the environment. Of those jobs, 27% will be in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM); 15% of jobs will be related to sustainable food and biomaterials production; and 12% of the openings will focus on education, communication and governmental services.

Yet, despite these 57,900 available career opportunities in agriculture, there are only 35,400 new U.S. graduates with expertise in these fields of study. The USDA says young people are, "essential to our ability to address the U.S priorities of food security, sustainable energy, and environmental quality in the years to come."

In my classroom visits, I break down what these opportunities look like and how any kid - whether they grew up on a farm or not - can pursue these exciting and rewarding positions in agriculture. This message is perfect for elementary students and high school kids alike, and we can tailor the lesson to fit the intended audience. This title is also endorsed by the American Farm Bureau Foundation.

This book focuses on the importance of incorporating dairy products and beef into our diets.

We are Rianna and Sheridan Chaney , twins from Elwood, Nebraska who live on 3,500 acre ranch where our dad works for Cross Diamond Cattle Company, who specializes in Red Angus beef cattle. The two of us also share an 18-head herd of Hereford cattle, and we enjoy exhibiting our cattle and swine in competitions. The ag industry is a major part of our lives and promoting our ag educational children's books to get our message out to the public is very important to us.
