Farmers plan to plant their seeds
But long before they do
They add nutrition to the soil
Mixing and tilling through
The things plants need to grow
Mixed well in advance
Helping seeds get what they need
Giving them their best chance
There are some basic nutrients
Plants need to survive and thrive
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
Keeping plants alive
Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium
Added to the mix
The fertilizing process,
The out-of-balance fix
Farmers use the combination
An organic and synthetic sow
Blending both so over time
Plants have a healthy place to grow
Farmers get help from animals
Use their manure as fertilizer
It seems so weird to think about
It's the future plants' appetizer!
Fertilizer and appetizer are fun together! It really is feeding the earth. So neat.
