| The gross and unsubsidized net agricultural production from the major Australian farming regions have been calculated from data collected by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. The results suggest that the wheat and sheep zone is the most important farming region, producing one third of the nation's agricultural gross revenue and one half of its agricultural net output. Important contributions to gross and net agricultural output are also made by the pastoral and high rainfall sheep zones. Because of the high level of subsidy, the dairying zone makes no contribution to net output although it produces fifteen per cent of the nation's gross agricultural revenue. Australia's irrigated lands produce approximately ten per cent of national gross and net... |

| An attempt was made to identify the factors which determined the rate of growth of the populations of country towns in the grazing and wheat growing regions of New South Wales between 1958 and 1971. The town population increased even though farm population declined during the period studied. In the Wheat and Sheep Zone and on the Northern Tablelands the rate of growth of country town population appeared to be determined by the rate of growth in the gross revenue from agriculture. In all other regions agricultural factors appeared to have little effect on the rate of growth of country towns. |

| The Water Resources Commission of New South Wales has calculated the capital and operating costs of diverting the amount of water which would be available in the driest year from the major coastal rivers to the inland streams of New South Wales. A preliminary benefit cost analysis of the least cost diversion to each inland stream, using a discount rate of 3 per cent, indicates that at present prices and yields none of the projects would have a benefit cost ratio of greater than 0.93, even if all of the diverted water were utilised immediately by farmers for the most profitable activity. If a discount rate of 7 per cent is used, this benefit cost ratio would decline to 0.52. If water is taken up at the same rate as it was after Copeton Dam was completed... |

| The depressed prices of agricultural commodities and the decline in farm incomes in the 1930s destroyed farmers' and governments' belief in a free market for a generation. In spite of the rapid development and introduction of new farming techniques after the Second World War, and the consequent increases in productivity, farmers were unwilling to allow demand and supply to determine product prices and insisted on government intervention in the market for agricultural commodities, credit and some inputs. The supply of agricultural services in the first two post-war decades was dominated by such intervention, and in the next two decades by attempts by the state to reduce its intervention in the market, a process which was not completed by 1990. Although the... |

| A comparison between the cost of living of average wage earners in Sydney and nineteen country towns in New South Wales was carried out in 1974, assuming that expenditure on items of goods and services was distributed in the same proportion as in the Consumer Price Index in both country towns and the city. Housing, which was cheaper in the country, was the only group of major consumer expenditure where a significant difference between city and country town costs could be detected. The differences between the costs of food, clothing, services and miscellaneous items of expenditure in the city and country towns were not significant. A study using regression analysis revealed that there was a significant positive correlation between the size of country towns... |

| The growth in the railway network in the 1880s and 1890s and the development and adoption of new farming techniques changed the semi-subsistence selector in New South Wales (NSW) into a commercial farmer. They also led to a large increase in the production of wheat and dairy produce and, together with overgrazing in the Western Division, caused a complete relocation of the main types of farming in NSW. |

| A definite relationship appears to exist between the yields obtained on farms and in experiments. For crops the relationship is curvilinear and for animal products it is linear. In both cases the ratio of average farm yields to experimental yields decreases as experimental yields increase. The ratio between average farm and average experimental yields over a period of years decreases as the area of crops increases and varies with the type of animal product. |

| An examination of the decline in net farm income between 1966-67 and 1969-70 indicates that in the three major zones the following size groups will be non-viable (l) In the High Rainfall Zone, farms with less than 2,000 and more than 10,000 sheep, comprising 85 per cent of farms in the Zone. (2) In the Wheat Sheep Zone, farms with less than 1,000 sheep, comprising 56 per cent of farms. (3) In the Pastoral Zone, farms with less than 20,000 sheep, comprising 98 per cent of farms. This situation could be alleviated to some extent by extending the period of debt repayment from the present average period of 7 years to a period of 20 to 30 years. |

| An estimate of the long term elasticity of supply for Australian wool has been made by establishing the price of wool at which 457 farms in the BAE Sheep Industry Survey (1964-5 to 1965-6) would find beef production more profitable than producing sheep and wool. The calculation suggests that the long term elasticity of supply would be of the order of 1'7 to 2'5 depending on the year on which the calculation is based. The elasticities established in this way were used to estimate the long term supply of Australian wool assuming that the wool industry was exposed to prices similar to those prevailing in 1969-71 over a long period of time. If future wool prices are of the order of 35 to 40 cents per Ib, Australian wool production might decline by between 35... |
