Farming
Farming had been the fuel which started the beginnings of the great city of Iona, a series of bumper harvests made a small collection of farms develop into a small hamlet which grew and grew. This new wealth enabled the investment and development in to early industry and the development of new systems of making agriculture more efficient. Iona became known for its high quality wool and linen goods, which were sold all over Europe.
Iona`s farming today has become highly productive in beef and pork production aswell as lamb. Cereals and other crops also thrive in the rich soil. Bio fuels have started to influence the landscape with oilseed rape and other colourful crops. Sugerbeat remains a mainstay in the local farms providing a rich source of sugar.
