Fruit grown on trees and vines come from orchards, groves, and vineyards. Trees also give us valuable lumber and the wood can also be used to make paper, paints and numerous other products. Planted field crops of wheat and corn are used for making flour to make our bread, crackers, pasta, and so many other foods. Nuts and berries come from our farms and forests. Our animal food also comes from the soil.
Cows eat grass, hay, silage, and grain to produce milk, meat, and leather products.
In addition to the products listed above, animals supply us with by-products that are used in paints, camera film, pet food, rubber, crayons, lotions, soaps, leather, medicines, and, the list is long. The fuel that warms our houses comes indirectly from the soil. Coal is made from plants that grew ages ago. Oil and gas also originate from organic materials, possibly including the remains of animals. Some of these things grew in the soil at one time or lived on things that grew in the soil.
