We had a fantastic time at Maiden Castle Farm yesterday!
We learnt all about harvest and the crops that are grown on the farm......
Barley Wheat and Maize.
We learnt that every part of the wheat is used and it takes a whole year for this to grow! We saw lots of machines and Hazel explained how they work!
This is a gigantic dryer that dries out the grain! It was very noisy and very hot!
This is used when the wheat is harvested and is very wet.
This is a picture of the grain going into the drying pit. It was also very noisy and went on forever!!
We also looked at the different houses on the farm. We saw the big farmhouse that was built in 1884.
We also sat in the barn and thought about the animals that could live in there. We looked at the cows and the sheep in the fields, and there were 2 VERY big bulls!!![]()
