Farming in the UK? - dakota beef
I work in the manufacture of machinery in the United States. I wondered how big the average farm in England. My parents raised 6 children on 640 acres in North Dakota. It was in the 60s and 70s.

4 comments:
Snapshot taken in the UK, according to data from the Agricultural Census 2006, there were some 309,000 farms.
56,500 grains
Rapeseed oil, or 14,800
Sugar beet 6500
Potatoes 10,200
24,600 dairy cows
61,500 Beef Cows
79,900 sheep
5800 pig farms
8600 pigs
3100 Broilers
37,400 levels
The average size of farms in the United Kingdom is 57 hectares (140 acres). Approximately 41,000 farms in the UK more than 100 hectares.
Agriculture in the United Kingdom, various methods, mainly because of the weather and the field configuration.
In England, the average size of 50 hectares, with a mixture of different products, while the average for Scotland has more than 100 hectares and is mainly sheep, dairy and beef throttle valve, cooler, mountainous region that is unsuitable for growing many cultures. Wales and Northern Ireland average of about 40 hectares.
The main products exported from the United Kingdom and the production of cereals - mainly wheat, barley, maize and rape of beef and dairy products, followed.
Many companies have a mix of production, but many large enterprises a single product. Dairy and pig can not be together on the same farm, due to illness. It all depends on the breeding area of the country, as for the farmer.
We are a dairy farm in the first place. Our farm is an average size of our region - 200 hectares, and we sell our milk to a local dairy that produces Stilton cheese.
With the introduction of the single farm in the United Kingdom there is no better, a landowner and patment is based on the breed. A profit on a small farm is very difficult and in recent years, many farmers have suitcases and a lot of land is purchased by large units, increasing the amount of land farmers less.
There are several times the size of holdings, which you cite, but these are mainly used by companies that run the operation in the same manner as any other company to operate instead. Family farms are much smaller and a thing of the past can not compete with the big guys 'and' t make a lot of life. There are several reasons why the first response highlighted some of Bobby from them. Moreover, the statutory provisions nailing and European markets, a good job on the farm "coffins." Too bad for us all, not only farmers whose farms are of the same family for generations. Before World War II, feed, farmers in the nation, the country now depends mainly by foreign farmers to feed us. This is a bad situation.
When you do remember, always a farmer in the United Kingdom. Why does every day, because the farmers go bankrupt, because traders refuse to pay producers a fair price for their products. If reading this, with the purchase of fresh products to retailers who are committed to fair trade and help establish relationships with agriculture.
I see nobody has answered your question and I'll try him out of his misery.
In the UK there are about 300,000 farms with an average size of about 57 hectares
The average size of a farm in England from 50 to 60 acres, approximately 123 -148 hectares.
In Scotland, about 100 hectares (246 acres) is
Although Wales is about 40 acres (99 hectares).
I hope that answers your question
