The best site for farming is undoubtedly the new F.A.C.E. (Farming And Countryside Education) website produced jointly by the National Farmers Union and the Royal Agricultural Society of England. This excellent website contains free factsheets, a photo gallery and most importantly, a series of farming case studies - over 10 for the UK plus 3 overseas farms. These are detailed and regularly updated by the farmers themselves and provide good quality material for G.C.S.E. case studies.
