Abstract
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.Keywords
