Coprophagia vandalism

the page is edit locked, and someone has pasted the content of the coprophagia at the top. Someone please remove that 160.19.3.249 (talk) 03:48, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

It was actually vandalism at an included other template file, so even editing this article wouldn't fix it. I fixed it there. Thanks for bringing it to attention. DMacks (talk) 03:58, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Lack of irrigation facilities

These crops are totally depended on the water facility (Figure 3), Due to lack of water facilities, the farmers may lose their crops, and the annual income will be low. Therefore, farmers have to take loan for their daily household expenses and other needs. 106.193.65.244 (talk) 12:39, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Agriculture is the art and science of cultivating the soil, growing crops, and raising livestock. It includes the preparation of plant and animal products for people to use and their distribution to markets. It provides most of the world’s food and fabrics and woods for construction and paper products. Cotton, wool, and leather are all agricultural products. These products, as well as the agricultural methods used, may vary from one part of the world to another. Graceyy v (talk) 10:42, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Liu1126 (talk) 13:22, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

History and crop yields

The History sections should probably say something about the evolution of crop yields and how they skyrocketed during the Industrial Revolution due to chemical fertililzers and mechanization. As a stepstone I leave here a link to an article that I think is relevant in ourworldindata.org Noliscient (talk) 07:51, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

 Done if you mean in the "publisher" field for reference 69. Next time please be as specific as possible. LizardJr8 (talk) 17:48, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

Possibly missing article

Is there any reason there are articles for Pig farming, Goat farming, Sheep farming, and Dairy farming but not Cattle farming (currently a redirect) or Beef farming? I don't believe that the others are all more important than cattle farming, right? ~2026-45985-49 (talk) 19:49, 5 September 2026 (UTC)

Thanks. We already have Animal husbandry which covers the territory of farming animals, and Beef cattle which covers much of the same ground as "Beef farming" would. I'll make the latter a redirect to Beef cattle now; this is without prejudice to swapping the names over if that's the consensus. There's certainly scope for extending the article and bringing it to Good Article status. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:39, 6 September 2026 (UTC)
