Facts*** about agriculture that you may, or may not, want to know...

An acre will produce enough wheat for about 2,500 loaves of bread.
It takes around 24 to 26 hours for a hen to produce an egg. They have a 30 minute rest (maybe take time for a cup of tea) then start all over again. They will, however, take a few days off now and then.
It is possible to lead a cow up the stairs, but not down the stairs, because their knees can't bend properly to be able to walk down.
Pumpkins were once recommended for removing freckles and curing snake bites.
