It was a forum for farmers with participation in the early years by district nomination. The strength of the Conference was the high number of papers contributed and presented by farmers, and the hard working organising committee. Notably some conference days saw more than five hundred attendees. The demise of the generic Lincoln College Farmers’ Conference in this format was largely due to the establishment of other more specific conferences including Weeds and Pests, Wool, and Sheep and Beef.enCopyright © Lincoln College.agricultural educationfarmer educationfarm industrywool marketingfarming returnsgrowth investmentbeef industrycattle breedinganimal husbandrycrop developmentartificial inseminationMonographANZSRC::070106 Farm Management, Rural Management and AgribusinessANZSRC::070206 Animal ReproductionANZSRC::070203 Animal ManagementANZSRC::1505 MarketingANZSRC::070201 Animal BreedingANZSRC::070305 Crop and Pasture Improvement (Selection and Breeding)
