Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Sheep worms which are resistant to chemical drenches have been detected with increasing freuency is Western Australia's south-western farming areas between 977 and 1980. These worms have anthelmintic resistance and such genetis resistance puts essential internal parasite control practices at risk.
This prompted veterinarians in the Esperance, Albany, Bunbury, Geraldton and Northam areas to survey farms to determine the prevalence of resistance to drenches and to define those sheep management practices which encourage its development.
This article describes the survey which was conducted to assess the extent of drench resistance, what causes its build-up and how it can be controlled …

Farm Debt In The Wheatbelt : 1984 Survey Results, R S. Kingwell
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
In recent years many farms in Western Australia's wheat-growing areas have experienced adverse seasons. For example, the 1983-84 season was characterised by a late start, dry spring and wet harvest which resulted in many farms suffering a combination of low yields and the downgrading or dockage of their grain.
Poor seasons and poor profitability prospects for wheat-growing caused some concern about farm indebtedness in these areas.
In late 1983, a Parlimentary select committee was appointed to inquire into rural hardship. The State Minister for Agriculture also announced that the Department of Agriculture would conduct a farm survey to determine the …
