Question

AGRICULTURAL TYPES



What type of agriculture am I engaged in?



I am a peach farmer in the State of Georgia, and ship my goods to the urban areas of the NE USA. Some would call me a truck farmer.





The soil is so poor where I farm that I have to find a new farm field every 3 years.





I tend to occupy a similar climate as a Pastoral Nomad would.




These very large farms are located in LDCs but grow export crops headed for MDCs.





Corn and soybeans are both important to me, but not for food for my family. They are feed for my animals.





I live in a dry region but get just enough precipitation to get my crop in before the snow, that way I can harvest in early summer and ship it to the market.





The land is crowded where I farm so I have to harvest rice twice a year.





I grow olives and grapes, I also raise some goats.





The land is crowded where I farm but it’s too dry for rice so I grow corn and wheat.





I am constantly surrounded by my animals but rarely eat them…they’re too valuable to me. I use their milk

and wool instead.





I tend to cluster around urban areas; it’s too expensive to ship my product long distance. Unless it has changed

form, that is.





I raise cows in Spain and Portugal; we are the only areas in Europe with a tradition of this type.





In New England, I grow asparagus, mushrooms, and strawberries for yuppies in the urban areas.
