5. Rainfall Farming requires either human labour or machinery
Labour This is the demand for the agricultural products
Temperature Crops need between 250mm & 500mm per year
Market This is the length of time crops need to grow - wheat needs 90 frost free days
Growing season Crops need a minimum of 6 degrees C and three months of 17 degrees to ripen
Soil The higher you are the colder it gets so this affects the type of farming
Altitude Deep, fertile and well drained soil is best for crops
Quotas This may influence what is grown as certain types of farming need more capital
Attitudes Governments can also place limits on certain products to prevent surpluses
Finance Steep slopes result in thin and infertile soils and machinery is difficult to use
Relief Personal interests of the farmer and public will affect what is grown
