the farmer is feeding the cattle.
into action voices reference taking the person or thing (the farmer) that is doing the verb (feeding) and adjusting the sentence so it shows that they (farmer) are the one completing the action (feeding the cattle)

To convert the passive sentence 'The cattle are being fed by the farmer' into active voice, it becomes 'The farmer is feeding the cattle', highlighting the subject performing the action.

The sentence "The cattle are being fed by the farmer" is in the passive voice and can be converted into the active voice by making the subject (the farmer) perform the action expressed by the verb. In active voice, the sentence would be "The farmer is feeding the cattle."

This reformulation now emphasizes the subject, 'the farmer', who is performing the action of feeding, rather than on the cattle which are receiving the action.

It's essential to recognize the actor and the action in the sentence to successfully change passive to active voice, which typically results in a more direct and engaging sentence structure.
