Crop Rationing : A Useful Drought Feeding Technique, H E. Fels
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Rationing will be mainly a drought feeding technique for that part of the crop which will definitely be used as sheep feed. Crop that may or may not be needed for sheep would normally be harvested and the grain kept as a contingency allowance.
