Advantages and disadvantages of Mixed Farming?

  • Mixed farming meaning where crops,feed and livestock are all grown together.

  • Answer:

    We think we are a pretty special farm. Our family-run mixed farming system is an increasing rarity in a land where factory farming and "economies of scale" are the norm. Mixed farming is running a system of livestock and arable enterprises from the same farm. Traditionally, a very broad range of crops and livestock were reared on every farm to spread the risk of any one crop or product failing. However, each part of the system also supported the others. For example, by-products from livestock, such as manure, was used to maintain and improve soil fertility, and feed crops could be grown as part of an arable rotation, breaking pest and disease cycles naturally.

omg there are so many advantages to this. this is real free range and real organic farming, which the usa wont stamp and approve. it sucks because these types of farmers must cut out the middleman and cannot distribute nationwide(in the usa). so legally, they can only sell direct to supermarkets and restaurants, for insatnce, within a 100 mile radius of their farms. these types of farmers know the importance of this method, and urge congress and the president to listen.
