They have both owned their farms for 10 years.

Farmer Joe sprays his crop...
![Page 8: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Then ploughs his crop...
![Page 9: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Leaves his crop to fallow.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
![Page 10: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Then he fertilizes his crop...
![Page 11: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Sprays his crop again...
![Page 12: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Then seeds his crop.
![Page 13: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Every year!
Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over
AGAIN!

Every year Farmer Joe was baffled.
![Page 15: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Why did his carrots keep dying?
R.I.P.Carrots

Why didn’t they grow like they did in the good old days?
23rd march 1972
![Page 17: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Framer Joe thought it was time he went and asked farmer John.
G'day Mate!
![Page 18: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Turned out Farmer John had many problems of his own.
![Page 19: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Farmer John’s crops kept getting taken over by weeds and grasses.

![Page 20: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
He tried ploughing them...
![Page 21: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
But that didn’t work. So he tried poisoning them.
![Page 22: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
But that just killed his crops!
![Page 23: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The last thing John tried was covering the field with newspaper.
![Page 24: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
=(But Famer John didn’t have enough
and it started to blow away.
![Page 25: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Then Farmer Joe had an idea. Why not ask Google?
Google.com
![Page 26: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Google was a smart man, and told them many things.
Google.com
Oooh! I see.
![Page 27: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Farmer Joe just had to use a thing called
crop rotation
![Page 28: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
In simple terms, Joe just had to grow other vegetables as well, like corn and cabbages, to make his carrots happy.
![Page 29: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
This was Crop Rotation.Every year Farmer Joe had to swap
around different types of vegetables
![Page 30: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Framer Joe set out his 4 year plan.
My Plan
![Page 31: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
One year would be his beloved carrots,
![Page 32: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Then the next year Joe could grow corn,
![Page 33: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
After that would be tomatoes,
![Page 34: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Then lastly cabbages.
![Page 35: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Farmer Joe would repeat this plan so he would be effectively sustaining his
farm.
![Page 36: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Farmer John figured out that mulching his crops by simply
buying or cutting up woodchips or covering it with a layer of other plant material, then putting it on the crop is
the BEST way to grow!!
![Page 37: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Here is Famer John’s new, nicely mulched crop! He decided to use hay/silage in order to control the
weeds and grasses and put nutrients in to the soil.
![Page 38: Sustainable Farming - Lets ask Dr Google by Issy Molineaux & Africa Vernon](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060111/5565af01d8b42a083a8b52a7/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
To this day, Farmer Joe and Farmer John are happy farmers with their
sustainably grown crops and vegetables
