mixd
farming
is
the
most
common
practice.
It
Is
generally
agreed!
that
livestock
is
the
basis
of
sue-
;
cessful
farming
in
the
area
and
the
livestock
enterprise
usua.ly
;
:
furnishes
the
largest
source

'
income.
Field
crops
are
grown
i
mainly
as
livestock
fed.
but
In
;
!
some
cases
a
cash
crop
such
as
clover
or

seed
fits
well
into

rotation
of
a
mixed
farm.
i
Within
recent
years
a
number
,
of
fanners
in
the
Bulkley
Valley
j
have
started
to
produce
whoie
j
milk
for
the
fluid
market
in
Prince
Rupert.
Dairying
is
a,
specialized
type
of
agriculture
and
requires
a
large
investment
j
in
stock,
buildings
and
equipment.
For
this
reason
the
number
of
dairy
farms
is
still
small
but
with
tlie
Prince
Rupert
market
growing
steadily
it
is
expected
that
milk
production
will
increase
quite
rapidly
within
the
next
few
years.
