WHAT DOES MIXED FARMING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

mixed farming

Mixed farming

Mixed farming is an agrarean system that mixes arable farming with the raising of livestock. When on a farm along-with crop production, some other agriculture based practice like poultry, dairy farming or bee keeping etc. is adopted, then this system of farming is known as mixed farming. It is the dominant system in Europe, where most farms have a mixture of fields and pastures. For example, the same farm may grow cereal crops, and keep cattle, sheep, pigs or poultry. In mixed farming, along with farming some other agriculture based practices are also carried out. Often the dung from the cattle is used to fertilize the cereal crops. Before horses were used for haulage, many young male cattle were often not butchered as surplus for meat but castrated and used as bullocks to haul the cart and the plough.
