Abstract
This report is the ninth in an annual series of economic
surveys of New Zealand wheatgrowing farms. These surveys have been
undertaken by the Agricultural Economics Research Unit at Lincoln
College on behalf of the Wheatgrowers Sub-Section of Federated Farmers
of New Zealand Inc.
Specific attention has been focused on the physical
characteristics of wheatgrowing farms, the area of wheat and other
crops sown, wheat yields, management practices and costs and returns
for the 1984-85 wheat crop. An attempt has been made to allocate plant
and machinery overhead costs to the wheat enterprise on a current cost
basis. A comparison of this information with past surveys enables a
more comprehensive profile of the industry to emerge.
