Agriculture 10, version 01 (Print)

This course provides a general background to the varied patterns of agriculture in Canada, and in particular in British Columbia. It deals with the origin and special features of different farm livestock and crops, and how they relate to one another and to the complex business of modern farming. It will be of particular interest to students living in agricultural areas, but it is hoped that it will also enable those in more urban surroundings to understand something of the intricate details that make up the mosaic of farming activities.
