BRITISH AGRICULTURE
Since the end of World War II in 1945, the United Kingdom's farms have been modernized rapidly,
and production has increased steadily. But the UK must still import about a third of its food supply
because the country doesn't have enough farmland to support its dense population.
The UK has about 250,000 farms. They average about 120 hectares in size. About two-thirds of
farmers own the farms on which they live. The rest rent their farms. Over half the farms are run on a
part-time basis. Many farmers practice mixed farming - that is, they raise a variety of crops and
animals. Methods of mixed farming vary from farm to farm. In the rough highlands of the west, grass
grows much better than farm crops. There, farmers use most of their land for grazing. The east is drier
and flatter, and the land is more easily worked. Farmers in the east use most of their land for growing
crops.
The most important crops are barley, potatoes, sugar, beet, and wheat. Farmers in eastern England
grow almost all the country's wheat and sugar beet, and most of its barley. Potatoes are grown through
out the country. Farmers in the east and southwest grow most of the UK's fruit and garden vegetables.
One of the most productive regions is the county of Kent in the southeast. It is called the Garden of
England, and is famous for the beautiful blossoms of its apple and cherry orchards in springtime. The
country's chief vegetables include cabbages, carrots, cauliflower, onions, and peas.
Sheep are the chief livestock. Farmers in almost every part of the country raise sheep for meat and
wool. British farmers also raise beef cattle, dairy cattle, and pigs. Some have poultry, but more and
more poultry are being raised in special mass-production factory farms.
