| The late Fred Gruen (1921–1997) was asked to write these previously unpublished reflections for the twenty‐eighth Annual Conference of the Australian Agricultural Economics Society in 1984; they were circulated in working paper format as Gruen (1986). In this paper, Fred, who made the transition from agricultural to general economics later in his career, offers a modest perspective on his contributions to agricultural analysis and policy. The unifying theme in this outstandingly productive life was his focus on public policy issues whose resolution would impact importantly on the lives of many — that is, his intellectual curiosity was driven ultimately by his philanthropy. |

| In the April, 1947, issue of this "Review" an appraisal of the financial position of thirty-two dairy farms in New South Wales during 1944-45 was made by Wyn. F. Owen.* The purpose of this article is to publish similar information regarding the financial position of thirty-seven dairy farms in New South Vales during 1945-46. The tables prepared for this article are of a similar nature to those of the previous article, but little attempt will be made to compare the results of the different years as it is considered more desirable to wait at least another year and obtain some more data before comparing figures for different years. |

| The purpose of this report is to discuss the advantages and disadvantages accruing to woolgrowers of using the Sydney Greasy Wool Futures Market. No reference will be made to the general advisability of having such a market. The discussion proceeds on the basis that a Futures Market has now been established and the question to be examined is how far growers can use it to advantage. The report will proceed in three stages. The first section will discuss under what conditions a woolgrower is likely to find futures trading of value. This will be followed by a hypothetical example of how a grower would use the market. It will be shown that the usefulness of futures depends on the degree of correspondence between movements in auction prices and movements in... |

| The Australian Meat Board (AMB) can influence the quantities sent to and the prices received for Australian beef and veal in the domestic and various export markets. Through its power to grant export licences and the conditions to be met in obtaining export licences the AMB can adopt the role of a price discriminating monopolist without supply control. This paper evaluates the price, quantity, efficiency and distribution effects of the export diversification scheme introduced by the AMB in 1968, of some modified schemes proposed in 1976, and of an alternative system whereby rights to export to premium export markets with quota restrictions are auctioned. |

| In February 1962 the Council of the Australian Agricultural Economics Society appointed a sub-committee to report on the present state of farm financial statistics in Australia and to recommend desirable improvements. The aims in calling for this report were twofold: (a) Members of the Society have long felt the need for more comprehensive economic information about Australian agriculture. The adverse movement of prices of farm products in Australia during the last decade has increased the urgency to obtain such data. (b) In view of the possible reorganisation of various statistical series, it was felt that the Society - whose members are major users of farm financial statistics - should outline its views on desirable improvements in this field. The... |

| The recent application of an experimental type classification of farms in New South Wales is, I think, the most significant development in Australian agricultural statistics since the war. This operation, carried out for the year 1955-56, involved the classification of statistical returns for the 78,000 rural holdings in the State, according to the nature of activity on individual holdings. A great deal of teamwork has gone into the planning and development of this classification, (1) and I believe that it will provide useful and reliable statistical results. The project is still in the experimental stage and much remains to be done before a fully operative classification can be applied in all States. |
