The correct answer to each of the questions..
Britain is now a highly industrialized country and there are only 238,000 farms in the UK. More
and more farmers leave the land because they can not earn enough money to survive. Only large farms
are economic and because of this most British farm are big. They usually grow cereals in the east of
England and raise sheep and cows in the north of England and Scotland. The small family farms often
have to earn more money by offering bed and breakfast accommodation to tourists.
Farming methods in Britain have also changed. Fields used to be quite small, divided by hedges
which were sometimes a thousand years old and full of wild flowers and birds. Many hedges were
pulled up to allow farmers to use modern machinery. Now most fields in England are large by
European standards.
