Year 3 & 4 had the pleasure of meeting Thomas Over, Farm Manager at Westrope Farm, and his amazing tractor!
We had prepared questions for him which he kindly answered
and we found out many facts about farming life.
Thomas brought many products with him that he grows on his
farm including carrots, parsnips and potatoes.
The best part was working out which seeds matched the end
product especially the sweetcorn!
‘I never knew carrot seeds
were green and how big sugarbeet grew!’ Walter
‘Thomas has eight acres of
land to farm’ Arthur
‘Thomas said it was his
smallest tractor but it was huge!’ Bea
Many thanks to Thomas for inspiring us to find out about
farming life and where our food comes from.
