Lincoln University has been involved with this leaders programme since 1979 when it was launched with a grant from the Kellogg Foundation, USA.Pastoral Farmers in New Zealand are renowned for their expertise and ability to grow grass and to convert that to meat and milk more efficiently than anyone else. This may well be the case although how near that is to the economic optimum is what this project aims to find out. The perception is that although good on a world scale at maximising pastoral production and efficiency, that New Zealand can do a lot better.enCopyright © The Author.pastoral farmingagronomyfarm management systemsproductionMonographThis Kellogg Rural Leaders Programme report can be viewed only by current staff and students of Lincoln University.ANZSRC::070302 AgronomyANZSRC::070101 Agricultural Land Management
