With Hsin-Hua Town, which is located at the contact zone of plains and hills as the study area, this article uses study methods such as documents and information gathering and field survey to understand the development of the regional farming types of Hsin-Hua Town and the mechanism that affects development. Since the 1950s, due to changes to regional and overall environments, agricultural business methods on the plains have shifted from simply rotating short-term crops within 3 years to land use of double paddy crops and double crops within 3 years, showing regional differences gradually. Subsequently, in addition to short-term crops, industrial cultures like fruit trees and sugar cane emerged one after another; and organic vegetables and educational farms also emerged as the times required. However, in the hill areas, the main crops grown are those long term ones like fruit trees and bamboo shoots, and the types of fruit trees usually changed while the output increased or decreased; among the kinds of bamboo shoots, dried bamboo shoots is the principal one. Moreover, recreation farms appeared recently too. Consequently, differences exist among the regional farming types of different regions at the same time, even for the same kind of agriculture; there are differences in the crops grown, forming unique development types and rhythm patterns.
