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 can not earn enough money to survive. Only large farms are economic and

cowsin the north of England and Scotland. The small family farms often have to earn more money by offering bed

and breakfast accommodation to tourists.
