A ferm (sumtimes cried a ‘byre’ an aw) is a bit laund uised for tae growe plaunts an/or upbring ainimals for fuid . The word is uised for mony diffrent ferms sic as airable ferms , fruit an vegtable ferms, milk ferms, swine ferms an chicken/poultry ferms, an laund uised for the makin o naitural fibre, biofuel an ither goods. It incluids the fermhoose an fermin buildins alang wae the laund . Nooadays, things incluidin wind ferms an fish ferms can be cried ferms as weel, baith o which can be on laund or at sea.

There are aboot 570 million ferms in the warld , mostly kin run. Smaw ferms wae less than 2 hectares o laund mak up aboot 12% o the warld’s fermin laund, an familie ferms mak up the ither 75%.

Ferms in developed kintras are oftentymes machine run. In the Unitit States , ainimals might be up-brought on grazing land an finished in feedin lots, an machines in airable fermin have lessent the number o fermers needit. In Europe , aulder family ferms gie wey tae mair muckle producin units. In Austrailie , some ferms are aye muckle for the laund isnae able tae uphaud ower mony ainimals frae the climate a conditions. In no as developed kintras, smaw ferms are mair often seen, an maist o the rural folk are substinance fermers, feedin theur families an sellin ony spare fuid tae the local mairket .

Fowk that growes plaunts or upbrings ainimals on a ferm is cried fermers . This type o wark is cried fermin.
