most of the farms round here are arable, but where the hills/mountains are there is a shit load of sheep farming and there are some dairies.
climate here is pretty good for high yeilds... ton per acre etc. the only thing that is a bitch is what type of ground you have... soft (like sand) or hard (like clay). as we all know some most plants grow better in soft ground. 2nd is the price the government want to pay us for our grain (corn). prices have dont nothing but fallen over the last few years although they have gone up a touch since last year. i dont understand why they dont give us more money... we are supplying food for the nation.
we grow, wheat, barley (spring and winter verietias, same with the wheat), oil seed rape (crushed and used to make oil based fuels, deisel etc), oats, most vegtables and one or 2 other things. something that has seemed to creep into the market is hemp.
i live in the middle of know where, cant complain though. my garden is huge!
