What does a farmer generally do?
Bet your knowledge and answer Start the QuizCorrect answer
Breed livestock
Explanation
A farmer survives by cultivating the land or breed livestock such as fowl, pigs and cows. Previously, it was common that the harvest was used in the family or the local community, but the modern farmer has become more industrial and specialised. Small family farms can no longer feed a family, so the farmer has other jobs on the side. Certain large companies are owned by farmers in cooperatives. Arla Foods is the world's largest producer of organic dairy products and is owned by Danish, Swedish and German farmers.
