USDA Science for Kids

What picture comes to your mind when you think of agriculture? Do you see some guy in overalls plowing the dirt with an old tractor, or women picking corn in a field? Maybe what you should picture is a scientist using a satellite-linked computer program to examine global climate changes or a researcher developing a new product that can absorb 1,600 times its own weight in water. This site is all about agricultural science and is developed by the US Department of Agriculture.
