Your question is very vague. What type of farming are you referring to here? In terms of crop production, most units are basically in the form of bushels, acres or hectares, pounds per acre (lb/acre) or kilgrams per hectare (kg/hct), miles or kilometers (most N. American farmers use miles) and tons or tonnes. In terms of livestock, units would be like number of head, pounds or kilograms, and cc (for vaccinations).

Explain how the friction of distance can affect the spatial pattern of agricultural activities in a region?
The spatial patterns of agricultural activities can be visualised in the form of planes of activities where individual farming units of varying size are linked to existing road networks or railroads which in turn connect each to markets and agri-processing centres. The centres of production (read farm units) exist in a supply-distance relationship with their market destinations where they deliver produce. Farming units which specialize on fresh food tend to site close to markets in order to reduce distance costs and time lags with longer distances. Farming units dealing in cereals whose harvest run is seasonal may locate far from the market because their processing centres tend to Be dispersed. Profitable modern farming requires that produce be quickly moved to markets directly after harvesting to lower risks of wastage and storage costs. Assuming transport rates by road, rail and ship depend on distance, then and quantity, then as a response- different farming regions of specialisation will evolve in any given region. Distance becomes a critical determinant in the types of farming activities that evolve over time and with increasing distance from potential markets there will be less reliance by farmers on the nearest local markets
