It’s harvest season, and for your junior farmer, that means a lot of miles on their favorite tractor.  For as long as there have been farms, there have been young boys and girls playing farmer and getting dirt on their britches.  The thrill of plowing fields, mowing hay and rounding up cattle is a strong temptation for many a would-be farmer, and a shiny red or green tractor can make both young and old farmers alike get a little short of breath.

JM Cremps has a full selection of the best farm toys, tractors, and farm tools you’ll find outside of a tractor store.  If your young John Deere has a barn full of tractors already and seems to know more about farming than you do, then why not test your little farmer’s knowledge with this fun Farm Facts Quiz.  Download and print your copy of the Farm Facts Quiz here.
