State three advantages of Mixed farming.

Three advantages of mixed farming are-

1. It ensures a steady income for the farmers because if the agriculture fails due to adverse climate or any other reason, they can look back to the other means like cattle raising for income.
2. Two or more crops with varying maturing periods are grown together on the same field. The crop maturing early is generally harvested before the growth of the long maturing crop, which ensures the best use of land.
3. Subsidiary occupations like fruit and vegetable gardening or poultry-farming may also be practised, which provide additional income to the farmers.
