I live and a farming community and most of my family are farmers. Is there much farming where you live?
Yes - we live opposite farm land. Nearly 70% of the UK is actually used for agriculture.
Wow, I'm from the United States. I was raised on a dairy farm and I still miss it.
My favourite kind of farming - couldn't live without milk (and yogurt and cheese etc)
Yes, now dairy farmers get very little pay for their milk. We also grew hay and corn. Corn is a big business in the U.S.
They need to diversify like in Italy - donkey dairies are getting quite popular there now. It's good for babies apparently.
Really? Never heard of that. Can you tell me more about it?
Yeah basically milk can be extracted from most non-human mammals during or soon after pregnancy - so why not donkeys!
Yes, I'm sure it can,lol. Just never heard of drinking it, Goat milk used to be a popular choice for babies here. It is supposedly easier on their stomachs.
Goat farming's pretty popular nowadays as you don't need much space or equipment.
