Growing Farm

Jimi and Isaac spent last summer on Jimi's grandpa's farm, so this summer should be easy. Now that they can bale hay, cut silage, and milk cows, it's time to raise beef steers and show them in the fair! But a new summer brings a new set of challenges, and Jimi's grandpa isn't getting any younger. He can't help the boys as much as he'd like, and maybe he needs more help than he will admit.

An audiobook for kids that are crazy about farming and animals! Jimi and Isaac think they are going to have a fun summer away from their parents and on Grandpa’s farm. They quickly realized that living on a farm is more than sunshine and hay rides, it’s real work. There is a lot to learn about the chickens and the dairy cows, and life in the country. They learn as much as they can as fast as they can, so they can help with the fun chores. Just as they are getting to be useful, Grandpa gets hurt pulling a calf and it's up to Jimi and Isaac to get all the chores done.
