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 industrybeef cattle improvementnutritional manipulationcarcass compositionbeef productionNew Zealand agricultureplant breedersconservation tillagedairy productionlight land farmingrural areasMonographANZSRC::070106 Farm Management, Rural Management and AgribusinessANZSRC::070101 Agricultural Land ManagementANZSRC::070602 Horticultural Crop Improvement (Selection and Breeding)ANZSRC::0702 Animal ProductionANZSRC::160804 Rural SociologyANZSRC::070204 Animal Nutrition
