nCube definition


The Agricultural Census was not primarily a land use survey, but it did record the total farmed area, apparently excluding rough grazings. For some dates it also recorded other categories including the area of rough grazings and of woodlands. In some cases, as with orchards, the acreages seem to be included within the overall farmed area, while woodlands are always separate.
