It is usually less intensive and diversified than market gardening. At first this type of farming depended entirely on local or regional markets. As the use of railroads and large-capacity trucks expanded and refrigerated carriers were introduced, truck farms spread to the cheaper lands of the West and South, shipping seasonal crops to relatively distant markets where their cultivation is limited by climate. 3, record 1, English, - truck%2Dfarming

La culture maraîchère champêtre en culture extensive. Il s'agit là d'un type de culture extensive relevant du domaine purement agricole. Il se pratique sur des étendues souvent considérables. [...] Son éloignement de gros centres de commercialisation ne représente plus un inconvénient majeur depuis la modernisation et l'accélération des moyens de transport. 1, record 1, French, - culture%20mara%C3%AEch%C3%A8re%20champ%C3%AAtre

Intermediate silos are in effect combinations of collecting and distributing silos, normally located on the perimeters of production areas but close to populated areas. They may receive grain directly from farms or farm storages but also from distant collecting silos. They distribute locally as do distributing silos. Intermediate storages are built using the same elements as in collecting and distributing silos, but their receiving and shipping capacities are designed to suit the combined requirements. 1, record 2, English, - intermediate%20silo

Les silos intermédiaires sont normalement situés à la limite des zones de production, mais près des zones de consommation, et réunissent, en fait, les caractéristiques des silos de distribution et des silos de collecte. Ils peuvent recevoir le grain provenant directement des exploitations agricoles ou encore de silos de collecte éloignés. Ils desservent la région au même titre que le font les silos de distribution. Leur conception technique est la même que celle des silos de collecte et des silos de distribution, sauf pour ce qui a trait aux installations de réception et d'expédition qui doivent être adaptées aux besoins particuliers des silos intermédiaires. 1, record 2, French, - silo%20interm%C3%A9diaire
