What would happen if farms suddenly disappeared?
Most people know farms provide the food on our tables, but the connection between agriculture and everyday life reaches much farther than many people realize. Farms give us the crops, animals, and natural resources used to create thousands of products we depend on every day.

From fields of corn, wheat, cotton, and vegetables to dairy farms, cattle ranches, orchards, honey bees, and more, If Farms Disappeared explores the incredible journey of agriculture from the land to our homes. Readers will discover how farmers grow crops, care for animals, operate specialized equipment, and use generations of knowledge alongside modern technology to help provide for a growing world.
But farms do much more than produce food. Agriculture plays a role in clothing, medicine, construction materials, transportation, jobs, and countless items we often never connect back to the farm.

This book takes a fascinating look behind the scenes at the farms, farmers, animals, and processes that quietly support everyday life. Because the next time you see a farm field, you may realize you are looking at the beginning of something much bigger than you imagined.
