I received this in "recommendations" for students. Aargh. Anyone have 
ideas for agriculture or natural experience simulations with a better 
core knowledge?

BET THE FARM

How hard is it to make money as a farmer? This interactive site  lets you make decisions about crops, fertilizers, and sales. Like a real farmer, you're at the mercy of influences like weather and world events. If you do manage to make a profit over the course of the year, the game will figure your hourly wage based on the time expected to grow the crops you've chosen. (You'll need the free Flash player that you can access at the site)
