Each new topic page in the book briefly introduces the animal species that is currently at stake. Vivid pictures and short texts tell you what happens to these animals on the farm and what they are supposed to do. If it is again about the multifaceted fields of activity of the farmer himself, then these are also clearly explained, regardless of whether this involves office and public relations work or the operation of agricultural machinery of all kinds. You can see in the non-fiction book the local types of grain, which types of Vegetables and fruits are cultivated in what way and what the bees have to do with them.
