“The Poor People Had Suddenly Become Rich” A Boom In Maine Wheat, 1793-1815, Jamie H. Eves
“The Poor People Had Suddenly Become Rich” A Boom In Maine Wheat, 1793-1815, Jamie H. Eves
Maine History
The article discusses the important role played in the surreptitious trade in wheat to the British Empire during the Napoleonic Wars. Its European supplies choked off by tariffs and embargoes, Britain turned to Ireland and to the United States for grain.

Biotechnology: Altering Agriculture And The Nature Of Food, Susan K. Harlander
Biotechnology: Altering Agriculture And The Nature Of Food, Susan K. Harlander
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
Fundamental discoveries in molecular biology within the past 30 years have initiated a biological revolution, which will have a profound effect on industry, government, and academic institutions. To date, the major industrial focus of this technology has been its use in the development of human healthcare-related products, such as human growth hormone, insulin, interferons, and interleukins, which can now be mass produced by genetically engineered microorganisms. However, the potential for genetically engineering plant, animal, and microbial cells with desirable structural, functional or chemical properties, offers an exciting new dimension for biotechnological input into the production and processing of foods. This …

The Potential For Skeleton Weed, John Dodd, F. D. Panetta
The Potential For Skeleton Weed, John Dodd, F. D. Panetta
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Since its introduction into Australia during the 900s skeleton weed has become one of the most economically significant weeds. Its presence in cereal crops in south-eastern Australia has caused suvere yield reductions and harvesting problems.
Skeleton weed was first found on a Western Australian farm in 963. Since then it has been the subject of an intensive eradication campaign organised by the Agricultural Protection Board and funded by an annual levy on wheat growers. Such campaigns, which rely mainly on volunteer searchers, do not exist in eastern Australia because the weed is so widespread it would be impossible to eradicate. …

Wheat Payments And Protein Content, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
In recent years there has been increasing support from within the Australian wheat industry for the principal of wheat growers recieving payment for their grain according to market value.
Individual loads are now tested for quality characteristics such as hectolitre weight, unmillable material and moisture content.
At present, technology is not sufficiently advanced to enable rapid and accurate analysis of individual loads for all important quality factors.
A more practical system of quality assessment would be one based on allowances for various basic measures (such as hectolitre weight, unmillable material and moisture content), variety (to allow for genetic differences in …

Australian Economy, R S. Kingwell, Juliann Lloyd-Smith
Australian Economy, R S. Kingwell, Juliann Lloyd-Smith
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The Australian economy has experienced some dramatic changes in economic conditions over the lasdt few years. Low or falling export prices for our main exports, greater volatility in exchange rate movements and an underlying depreciation of the Australian dollar, high real interset rates, high inflation rates compared with our trading partners and a burgeoning foreign debt, are all features of Australias economic situation.
The economic environment affects the rural economy and has major implications of the prospects of Australia's rural industries. Therefore it is important to understand not only the main economic conditions facing Australia, as well as some of …
The Awassi Fat Tail Sheep Project, R J. Lightfoot
The Awassi Fat Tail Sheep Project, R J. Lightfoot
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Australia's first Awassi fat tail lambs arrived at Kununurra in January 1987, completing the first major step in an ambitious project to establish a fat tail sheep breeding industry in this country.
Fat tail sheep bred in the Middle East attract much higher prices than merino wethers imported from Australia. The question to be resolved through our product development and market research is what premiums will Middle Eastern buyers pay for fat tail sheep bred in Australia and exported to the region.
The Department of Agriculture believes that there is potential for Sustralian producers to enter these new markets without …
