FACTS AND FIGURES
• The North East region (Yorkshire, Northumberland, County Durham, Tyne and Wear and Cleveland) supports 21,000 holdings, a farm workforce of 51,000 and has a total of 1.67m hectares (4.13m acres) of farm land.
Cropping accounts for 0.7m hectares (1.7m acres) or 39% of land use. 49.5% of Yorkshires land, 0.5m hectares (1.2m acres), grows crops compared with 28%, 168,00ha (415,000 acres), in the other north eastern counties as a whole.
The regions main crop is cereals with 0.5m hectares (1.2m acres) grown. Oilseed rape takes up 85,700ha (211,000 acres) of the land area, potatoes 23,000ha (57,000 acres) and sugar beet 23,000 ha (56,000 acres).
Peas and beans are a key crop in Yorkshire with about 13,500ha (33,300 acres) drilled with pulses producing 30% of the total English crop.
Pigs contribute a significant slice of the regions agriculture with 2.2m spread across the region. Of the total for the region, 2m (90% of the NE total and 30% of the national herd) are based in East Yorks.
• Pigs and cropping are key features in Yorkshire but cattle and sheep dominate the other areas where 50.4% 0.3m hectares (0.7m acres) of the land is dedicated to beef and lamb production. In Yorkshire the proportion of the total land devoted to these industries is lower at 28.7% but the complete hectareage of grass, at 0.25m of pasture, is close to the total for the other counties. As a whole grass in the north-east region counties provides food for 5.1m sheep and lambs (25% of the English total) and a total of 1m cattle.
