would have nothing to eat. Farmers raise crops by spraying fertilizers.
Most farmers now put chemicals on the plants they grow. They use
fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides on the plants grown commercially.

Fertilizers are chemicals that provide nutrients that plants need

to make their own food. Pesticides are chemicals that repel or kill
insects that harm the plants. Herbicides are chemicals that kill the
