  • Denbighshire
    Denbighshire The underlying geology and soils of Denbighshire creates a great variety of land uses with arable land historically being concentrated in the lowlands along the boundary with Caernarvonshire, along the coastal strip and surrounding the major towns and cities. Small scale arable cultivation was a feature of the mixed farming in the area as shown by the 1930s land use survey which is considered a low point in arable cultivation. Growing crops will probably have increased during the World Wars in the 20th Century as there was a greater need to be more self-reliant, and the advent of herbicides and inorganic th fertilisers in the mid 20 Century has led to an increase in crop production in some areas as weed control has improved. However, there is an estimated 68% contraction of cultivated land and land under short-term rotation between the 1930s and 1990s. Arable cultivation is still continued around Abergele, Denbigh, Ruthin, between Chirk and Wrexham and north-east of Wrexham. The decline in arable cultivation could be due to a number of reasons including the general change in farming businesses towards more livestock farming and pastoral land; the increase in herbicides and fertiliser costs which may lie beyond the means of small-scale farms; and the volatility of cereal prices may also have led to a decline in arable cropping with high yields only breaking even in some years. There is a substantial concentration of arable land in the 1990s survey with larger blocks of cultivation being undertaken. This may be the result of agricultural intensification and a greater use of herbicides and fertilisers.
