@simon_brooke Just as everywhere, I think. Scotland is just a place where it’s acute. circa 65 hectare farms (common here, and cheap if you already have money to buy a house) are for deserts and steppes (to better harvest what little rainwater there is and turn it into groundwater for irrigation), not wet places with summers long enough to grow maize (just barely) or two to three cuttings of lucerne.
@Tallish_Tom@simon_brooke I don’t think farms should be that large unless you’re in a desert and using the excess land to harvest rain. Not even in BC, where spaces are, relatively speaking, wide-open.
