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 cannot earn enough money to survive. Only large farms are
economic and because of this, most British farms 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.

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.

damage caused by fire rather than by the collapse of the buildings.
