Detailed Solution

On the same farm, mixed farming refers to mixing two or more separate agricultural pursuits. Crop farming combined with dairy farming, or more generally, crop farming combined with livestock husbandry, is a common example of mixed farming.
Combining has benefits and drawbacks. For instance, farmers in mixed systems must divide their time and resources among different tasks, which reduces the scale economies.
