History of agriculture in Cheshire
Agriculture has historically been the primary industry of the English county of Cheshire. Dairy farming has predominated, and the county was particularly known for cheese-making.
==Prehistoric era==
The area now forming Cheshire was sparsely populated during the entire prehistoric period compared with southern England.〔Thompson, pp. 2–4〕 The earliest archaeological evidence of farming dates from the Early Neolithic period (4000–3001 BC); excavations at Oversley Farm near Styal found remains of burnt cereals associated with an Early Neolithic rectangular timber structure.〔(Revealing Cheshire's Past: Early Neolithic at Oversley Farm ) (accessed 25 March 2014)〕 Burnt grain found at Tatton in association with post holes and flint artefacts dated to 3500–2900 BC has been interpreted as a transitory farming settlement.〔(Revealing Cheshire's Past: Neolithic farming activity at Tatton village ) (accessed 25 March 2014)〕 Local historian W.J. Varley speculates that the earliest Neolithic farmers cleared the forest to cultivate emmer wheat and barley using mattocks of bone or stone, and herded oxen, goats, sheep and pigs using dogs; they lacked ploughs and horses.〔Varley, p. 28〕
The absence of lime-rich basic soils and the high rainfall might have delayed Cheshire's agricultural exploitation compared with the adjacent areas of North Wales and the Peak District, with light soils overlaying sand, gravel or sandstone being cultivated before poorly drained clay soils.〔〔Varley, p. 32〕〔Higham, p. 21〕 In the Bronze Age, agricultural usage was largely concentrated on uplands in the Pennine fringe in the east of the county and the Mid Cheshire Ridge.〔 This trend continued during the Iron Age, although there were some scattered lowland farmsteads such as at Bruen Stapleford.〔(Revealing Cheshire's Past: Barrows to Bog Bodies ) (accessed 25 March 2014)〕
