Modern Farming

By Jill C Wheeler

Over the past century, farming in the United States has evolved from a patchwork of small, family-owned farms into a vast and high-tech industry that feeds the world. Modern Farming examines key topics in today's advanced system of agriculture, including hybrid genetics and GMOs, autonomous tractors and drones, GPS-guided planting equipment, and automated feeding and milking systems. Features include a glossary, websites, source notes, infographics, and an index. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards.
