Here is an impressive lesson on how agricultural practices and technology have advanced over time. Thoughtful discussion topics, good warm up activities, and fine worksheets are all embedded in this eight-page plan. The plan comes from the state of Wisconsin, so it makes sense that it's a well-designed plan on farming practices!
