Original: Farm animals give us milk, eggs and wool, and noisy machines plow fields and pick the crops. The vegetables and fruit busily grow in the garden.

Corrected: Farm animals give us milk, eggs, and wool. Noisy machines plow fields and pick the crops. Vegetables and fruit grow busily in the garden.

Why I changed it (easy steps):

  1. Split the first part into two sentences. The original used one comma where two full ideas were joined. So I made: "Farm animals give us milk, eggs, and wool." and "Noisy machines plow fields and pick the crops."
  2. Added a comma after "eggs" (this is the extra comma before the last item in a list). It makes the list clearer: "milk, eggs, and wool."
  3. Moved the word order in the garden sentence to sound natural: "Vegetables and fruit grow busily in the garden." (Both "busily grow" and "grow busily" are okay, but "grow busily" is common and easy to read.)
  4. Made sure each sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a period.

If you want, we can practice making more sentences like these together!
