In the Standard Grade Geography exam there are three types of farming you need to know about - arable, livestock and mixed.

• Arable farms are ones where the main way of making money is by growing crops
• Livestock farms are where animals are the important part of the farm
• Mixed farms are where animals and crops are both important to the farmer

Only British examples are used in the exam questions.
