1 a method of farming in which one farm has more than one purpose, usually growing crops as well as raising animals:
It was argued that mixed farming would eliminate agricultural instability and enrich the towns.
These findings indicate that a substantial part of the old guard follow the organic ideals and traditions of mixed farming and farm household self-sufficiency.
Farming systems are dominated by mixed cropping, mixed farming (crop and livestock production) and mono-cropping of cereals.
And thirdly, the complexity of mixed farming required a quality of work and certain organizational skills that would have been too expensive with wage labour.
The role of livestock for sustainability in mixed farming: criteria and scenario studies under varying resource allocation.
Similar ranges found on the low ground should be associated with a mixed farming regime, evidenced in cases by the additional presence of a barn, mill or stable.
But the approach requires more labor, mixed farming (including crop rotations and crop-livestock integration), and use of fallow and green manures to generate organic matter and nitrogen.
Mixed farming increased both yields and certainty in unprecedented ways, but required too wide a variety of operations at different times of the year to encourage mechanisation.
It provides a representation of what can happen as the mixed farming frontier moves south.
