Join us each week as we explore kid-friendly topics like why bees are important and why sheep need hair cuts. We here at the Super Smart Farm Show know it's fun to ask questions and wonder about the world we live in, especially when it comes to learning about how farmers feed and take care of us.2025

  • Why Do Pigs Like to Roll in the Mud?
    Jan 20 2026

    This week on the Super Smart Farm Show, we're heading out to the pig pen to find out if pigs are really as dirty as they seem.

    There's no question about it: Pigs love the mud. But why? Is it simply because mud is fun? Or is there more to it than that? Could all that mud actually be helping pigs?

    Join host Elmer and Piper the pig as they get to the bottom of why pigs love mud.

  • Could the Farm in 'Charlotte's Web' Be Real?
    Jan 13 2026

    This week on the Super Smart Farm Show, we're taking a trip to the library to check out one of our favorite farming books, 'Charlotte's Web,' by E.B. White.

    Generations of children have loved the story of Wilbur the pig and Charlotte the spider, but just how realistic is the farm portrayed in 'Charlotte's Web?' How did E.B. White know how to write about farm animals? Do pigs really go to county fairs?

    Join host Elmer and Lucy the librarian as they dive into the world of 'Charlotte's Web' to discover what makes E.B. White's writing so terrific.

  • How Do Farm Animals Stay Warm in the Winter?
    Jan 6 2026

    This week on the Super Smart Farm Show, we're bundling up in our hats and scarves and then heading out to the barn to find out how farm animals stay warm in the winter.

    Cows don't wear coats and coal stoves aren't safe for the barn. So how do animals stay warm during the winter? It turns out, they're able to stay nice and toasty thanks to some natural defenses against the cold and with help from farmers.

    Join host Elmer and Brody the steer as they discuss how different animals around the farm are able to keep warm during the coldest months of the year.
