Our Farmers, Our Future Poem by Erica Graham

Farmers are important,
They’re working all day long.
Every Aussie will go hungry,
If something does do wrong.

Farmers grow our fruit and veg,
Raise sheep and cattle too.
A farmer’s life is hard,
There’s a lot of work to do.

When harvest time comes
And the crops are ripe and ready,
The farmer picks and sells his crops,
Keeping the supply full and steady.

At the supermarket,
A farmer’s produce is sold.
The farmer’s efforts are rewarded
With a sack of gold.

And so a farmer’s day of work
Comes to a weary end.
He thinks of all tomorrow’s jobs,
Like the fence he has to mend.

Our farmers are our future,
Without them there is no hope.
So let’s appreciate them,
And how they help us cope.
