Underground, the soil lies quietly, yet it holds everything needed for life to grow. When it is rich and full, seeds can settle into it, take root, and begin their slow journey upwards. What was once hidden begins to appear above the ground as small leaves, then stronger stems, and over time, whole plants that fill the fields.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eFrom these plants comes food. Grain, vegetables, and grass feed both people and animals, and life on the farm begins to unfold around them. Chickens move across the yard, pecking at what they find on the ground. Cows graze slowly in the fields. Each living thing depends on what grows from the soil, and each takes what it needs in its own way.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eBut nothing on the farm simply ends there. What is taken is returned in time. What remains after meals, what falls from plants, and what animals leave behind all return to the earth. There, slowly and quietly, it changes and becomes part of the soil again, enriching it and restoring what was once used.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eIn this way, the ground is continually fed, and when the time comes, it is ready to support new growth. So the cycle continues, quietly and steadily. What happens underground shapes what grows above it, and what grows above eventually returns below.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eEach part depends on another, and nothing stands alone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the farm, stories grow just like seeds, hidden at first, and slowly coming to light…\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eThe Little Hen and the Little Rooster \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eThe Enormous Turnip \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eWhen the Soil Was Tired \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eIn this issue, you will learn how plants grow from tiny seeds, discover the hidden life inside the soil, explore different ways of farming, and make your very own homemade butter.
