[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Remember: as long as you can JUSTIFY (that is, give reasons) for your choice then there is no wrong answer. Just make sure you’ve got lots of evidence to back up your choice! For example: Arable: most of the land is below 60m (1). It is also on fairly gentle slopes which means machinery could easily be operated (2) Mixed: There is some quite steep land which could be used for grazing (1). The drier and more gentle slopes would have good soil for growing crops (1). Farm types: Arable - mostly flat land, near a market, good road links Mixed - some low and higher/steeper ground Hill sheep farming - steeper, more remote land

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],This area is suited to arable farming. The land is gently sloping so is good for machinery (2). The fields appear to be large which is also more efficient for machines to be used (2). It is also close to a market in Lincoln for selling products (1).

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],The farm is most likely a livestock farm. This is because the land is steep and unsuitable for growing crops (1) or using machinery (1). The steep land also means the soil will be poor (1) so hill sheep could survive on it (1).

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Much of the farm is on steep, mountainous land. This tends to be cold, wet and with poorer soils which tend to be better suited to hill sheep farming or growing trees (2). Crop growing doesn’t take place on the low flat land as it may flood and there may be drainage problems (2). The farmer grows crops such as barley and turnips to feed his animals through the winter (1). The trees are grown as he’s given grants by the EU to diversify to raise his income (2). He cannot diversify much more as he’s very remote and away from the main population (2). He’s given grants and subsidies to help keep him farming (1).

[object Object],[object Object],Fields have been made much bigger to make it easier to use machines (1) and also to raise the yield from the field (1). The cottages have been sold off as machinery and technology have taken over from people so the farmer needs less labourers (2). The farmer can get extra income from renting out the cottages (1). The new crops are grown because of changing demands (1). The land has been set aside as we’re producing too much food today (1) so the EU gives the farmers grants to do this (1). The farmer has introduced leisure facilities to increase his income (1).

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Farm A has more animals (livestock) than B because the land is higher (1) and so will be colder and wetter than B which means it’s less suitable for growing crops (2). A has a much higher range in altitude which suggests it has steeper slopes than B so will be less suited to using machinery (1). B has more farm workers to help at harvest time (1) and because the size of the farm is smaller it must be farmed more intensively to make a living (1) so will have higher value crops grown (1).
