Farm Technical Manual 1986

Clark, M. B.; Burtt, Elizabeth S.

Abstract

Since the previous edition of the Technical Manual was published (1983), the New Zealand economy has seen considerable changes, and indeed is still subject to flux as a result of Government Policies and external market forces. Many of the changes have affected the Primary sector, making a revision of the Technical Manual both timely and desirable. The Financial Budget Manual was updated for 1985 in line with an editorial decision to clearly separate the content of the Financial and Technical manuals. As a consequence, the majority of sections in the 1986 Technical Manual have been extensively revised and updated or, in some cases, completely rewritten. Sections have been deleted or added to in order to reflect the current trends in primary production.
