Arable Farming

 

Arable farming is the production of crops.

It is predominant in lowland areas where the soils are more fertile and the climate is drier.

The major crops grown in the UK are wheat, barley, oats, oilseed rape, potatoes and sugar beet.

Vegetables and salad crops are also grown for human and animal consumption.
