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.en© Lincoln College.agricultural educationfarmer educationfarm industryagricultural researchenergy consumptionagricultural technologyfreezing industryindustrial relationsfarm productionwheat yieldpasture utilisationrural health servicesdiversificationhigh interest ratesdairy farmingMonographANZSRC::070106 Farm Management, Rural Management and AgribusinessANZSRC::099901 Agricultural EngineeringANZSRC::160804 Rural SociologyANZSRC::140201 Agricultural EconomicsANZSRC::0702 Animal ProductionANZSRC::0703 Crop and Pasture ProductionANZSRC::150306 Industrial RelationsANZSRC::140207 Financial Economics
