What happens here

The farmer drives his Gator to a field where his goats are enclosed by an electric fence. He explains that this particular field is a less productive area of the farm that he is rehabilitating. He previously planted grass and clover seeds and is now using the goats to graze, which helps stimulate plant growth and adds manure to fertilize the soil. He offers the goats a small scoop of grain, explaining it helps keep them tame and encourages them to approach the gate when he arrives.

Goal: The farmer checks on his goats in a new grazing field, explaining how they help rehabilitate the land by stimulating growth and fertilizing it, and provides them with grain to keep them tame.
