The first detailed map showing the types of farming in England and Wales was published in 1941; this valuable map was necessarily and admittedly subjective. A new map has now been prepared from farm census data, a task which has become practicable by use of electronic computers. Both the method of constructing this map and the characteristics of the areas distinguished are objectively defined. The authors point to the advantages of agreeing a specification so that a map of this kind may be made periodically to illustrate regional changes in farming pattern.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
