Young Farmers' Fare

  Wake up. Throw on some clothes. Get out to the barn.
  The animals need to be fed and watered. Need to make sure they're OK, and relatively happy.
  Cows, chickens, rabbits, pigs: Champions in training can be demanding.
  Some like to be brushed; others spook easily. Some like to play; others think they're in charge.
  Being the best isn't easy. But it's what drives these teens - that, and their animals.
   You'll find stories behind every pen at Tampa Bay's agricultural fairs. Come along as we follow the stories of several teens preparing for the 2007 fair season.
