Depends how you define "a farm" to an extent - if it has a sheep is it a farm?how would that tally with numbers of farmers or total area farmed ?
Our rugby field has sheep on it most of the time, and the golf course
But there are probably about 50 thousand "farms" here of various description
Would have to check my facts but I believe 13.8 million hectares is deemed "farmland" here and 9.3m ha in the UK. Maybe they have the same definitions or close?
But our arable area is much less, hence why grain is worth a lot more than COP here (a bit like the tractors)
