Farming Due to the high land the temperatures are low, this means that the growing season is short so arable farming is not possible. There are high amounts of rainfall due to the altitude, resulting in relief rainfall, and also the low pressure systems which are brought in over the Atlantic. The high precipitation waterlogs the soil and washes away the nutrients- leaving the soil infertile. Furthermore, the steep hill sides of U-shape Valleys and pyramidal peaks are not suitable for machinery

At the time, it was thought that the few "missing
