    The average person will say that agriculture means farming. He is partly right, for
    raising crops is a branch of agriculture. So do livestock raising, dairy forming, fruit growing,
    chicken raising and even fur farming. Agriculture includes the raising, of every kind of plants
    and animals that is useful to man.
    With all its many branches, agriculture is the world’s most, important industry. It
    supplies the food we eat and many of the materials from which we make our clothing.
    Farms are classified according to the type of farming that is done and kinds of crops
    and livestock that are raised. They may be classified in several different ways, such as
    general, specialized, intensive, and intensive farms.
    General farming, is a farm where a variety of things is raised. On such a farm there
    may be a herd of dairy cows whose milk the farmer sells. There may also be poultry to pro
    vide extra income and supply some of the family’s needs.
    There are many factors that influence the types of crops and livestock that a farmer
    raised. The most important one is climate which includes temperature, length of growing
    season, sunshine, and rainfall.
    Another is the type of soil. The third is the amount of water available of irrigation. By
    concentrating on the particular crops or animals that fit best with this situation, the
    specialized farmer hopes to use his land in the most efficient and profitable way.
    When a farmer devotes a great deal of labour to a piece of land, he is practicing
    intensive agriculture. If he works in a large area of land with relatively little labour, he is
    practicing extensive agriculture. Intensive agriculture usually goes together with small farms.
    A great deal of careful work is always involved in intensive agriculture. Often this work must
    be done by hand. Extensive agriculture is usually practiced on large farms or ranches where
    most of the work is done by machinery.
