Programming farm development
Abstract
The objective of this investigation was to explore the
physical and economic problems of developing North Canterbury
hill country to a high carrying capacity. The two properties
were chosen from the Cheviot Farm Improvement Club, which had
shortly before joined the Lincoln College Farm Advisory Service.
The technique employed was to forward budget, year by year,
a suitable development programme for each property, with the
present plans and aspirations of the owners being fully taken
into account. On the second property, two development programmes
were prepared, the second to allow a more rapid rate of
development through borrowing additional development capital.
Full details of the physical requirements and financial results
of the programmes are shown in the respective case studies.
