making confetti eggs oh we've got a question how many farms are in America well last time we counted there are about 2 million Farms across the United States taking up 895 million total Acres wow most of our American Farms are owned and operated by families if you have food to eat you can thank a farmer which is why we're celebrating them today here's what you'll need for our craft empty eggshells I'll show you how to get the inside of the eggs out white vinegar a long pin or a nail stickers about one inch wide hot water in cups food coloring and confetti before we get this party started let's talk farming agriculture growing crops or raising animals for food is very important business in the United States in 2020 almost 20 million American jobs were related to agriculture that's about 10 percent of all jobs in America top farming states include California Iowa Nebraska Texas Minnesota Illinois Kansas Indiana North Carolina and Wisconsin just to name a few you can especially thank those States if you like grapes almonds cranberries bacon Tomatoes bread corn hamburgers or maybe even wear clothes made of cotton worldwide America is a top producer of corn beef milk and chickens now speaking of chickens let's get started on our confetti eggs first thing we need to do is make our eggs Hollow on the inside take regular eggs there's a yolk in here and your nail or pin you're going to want to be very careful with this part and ask a parent for help you're going to need a bowl underneath your egg when we do this remember be very careful we're gonna poke a hole at the top gently so that our egg doesn't crack very carefully chip it away and I'm just chipping around the sides like this and then you need to stick the nail or the pin in sort of scramble the yolk so that you can dump it out there it goes get all the yolk out of there [Music] so this is empty now and we will want to rinse this out but for now set it aside okay you want to see another way that some people get the yolks out of eggs it's kind of goofy but stick with me once again a hole at the top very gently it helps if you turn the egg there we go and then you want to scramble the inside of that egg with your nail or your PIN and now we're gonna make a hole at the bottom same thing very carefully burn that egg turn oh it's cracking [Music] okay we made another hole now you can take a short straw [Music] it's out it's all over now we have two Hollow eggs You're Gonna Wanna rinse these in water and set them aside would anyone be so kind as to make me some scrambled eggs [Music] in your cups and add food coloring I've got blue and red 20 drops of each color [Music] some people like to add vinegar to their water to help color the eggs [Music] there we go all right we'll see how this works next let's take our Hollow egg shells very carefully and lower them into the colored water [Music] gentle gentle gentle gentle there we go next very gently into the blue now we get to wait usually it takes about 15 or 20 minutes long before the pilgrims arrived in 1620 Native Americans knew how to grow crops and live from the land remember the story of that first Thanksgiving yeah when pilgrims and natives celebrated the Harvest later into the 1700s European settlers farmed across the 13 colonies by 1790 almost all of American workers were farmers now most Farms were still small farms but there were many large plantations in the southern areas tobacco became the main crop in the south then in 1803 the United States bought the Louisiana Territory adding Millions of acres of land that pushed Westward suitable for farming fruits like apples in the 1800s cotton became the main crop in the South now let's check on our eggs hey these are beautiful look at that blue ice I'm gonna have blue fingers again make sure the dye drains out of The Middle don't spill it on your parents Furniture you're going to want to set these aside to dry completely [Music] guess what time it is now it's time to fill our eggs with confetti here we go make sure your eggs are completely dry before you do this I just like too fill it like this you gotta get confetti small enough to be able to get into the egg you don't need a ton of confetti in these just at the bottom trust me when you break them the confetti's gonna go everywhere and to cover this hole I like to use a sticker happy faces for our farmers look at that happy egg oh right we'll set him aside and get the other one going this is a tricky part [Music] let's get my sticker going another happy egg too cute you know farming has come a long way over the past few hundred years inventions like the McCormick Reaper in 1834 the John Deere steel Plows in 1837 and gas tractors in 1892 have made planting and harvesting easier and faster one U.S farm can feed more than 150 people for a whole year and one acre of land can grow 50 000 pounds of strawberries or 2784 pounds of wheat among other things of course owning and operating a farm is not easy Farmers have to worry about bad weather pests having enough water and so many things that we don't even think about when we go to the store to buy what we need our food as well as clothing and goods are thanks to Farmers we are so grateful for their hard work and should remember to celebrate them whenever we can listen to that confetti should I celebrate now we're celebrating
