I live and a farming community and most of my family are farmers. Is there much farming where you live?
Yes - we live opposite farm land. Nearly 70% of the UK is actually used for agriculture.
Wow, I'm from the United States. I was raised on a dairy farm and I still miss it.
My favourite kind of farming - couldn't live without milk (and yogurt and cheese etc)
