| Adverse trends in lamb and wool prices and the costs of most purchased inputs have submitted sheep owners to an increasing cost-price squeeze over the latter part of the last decade. This phenomenon has been the cause of concerned comment by industry leaders and has undoubtedly led to extremely low average returns to capital and severe hardship in some sectors of the sheep industry in Australia. It seems important to know how farmers investing in pasture improvement have fared in these circumstances. |

| This paper attempts to generalize the results, on both the local and the national level, of graziers on 1.7m. acres of New England following planned investment patterns developed from farm surveys. This area, at present unimproved, is assumed capable of establishment under improved pastures over a period of ten years. If all the investment capital required over and above the additional revenue generated by the improvement (assuming no change from present prices) were supplied as loans to landholders, the advances required would range at their maximum between £8 and £10 per acre, or £l3m. to £17m. in aggregate, according to the pattern of improvement adopted. Under these conditions farmers would receive approximately 10 per cent return on investment, but... |

| A survey of twenty-three soldier settlers who face adjustment problems following falls in sheep product prices and damage to pastures by a scarab pest is reported. Settlers estimates of input-output coefficients, and results from agronomic experiments, were used in formulating production possibilities in linear programming matrices. Normative plans for farm organization, to maximise incomes over a range of relative prices of agricultural and livestock products, were derived from these matrices by simplex programming. It was deduced that settlers could increase incomes by devoting all arable or potentially arable land to a cash crop rotation, even where pastures are not scarab infested. Once embarked on such a programme, substantial change in relative... |
