Links:

The list below provides a variety of farming-related links. Some of these are very specific, others are more general. The specialist links usually use the term AGRICULTURE when talking about farming.One of the best sites to start is the excellent NFU [National Farmers Union] Education Site. This site is relatively new and very well written.

The NFU Pagethe education pages of this excellent site are entitled "The Farm: A Living Classroom". They include 'Working Farm Studies' a cross-section of ten UK farms. The ten farms provide excellent case-studies for Key Stage 3 [Years 7 - 9] and G.C.S.E. research/homework projects. The information is well written/presented and regularly up-dated.
