Abstract

This report presents a description of the Lower Namoi Valley of NSW and representative whole-farm budgets for the region based on subregional characteristics and the related farming systems. Agronomic and agricultural production characteristics are included as technical parameters in a transparent financial framework. A computer spreadsheet is developed to allow risk analysis of alternative technologies and management scenarios. Alternative crop rotations in a whole-farm context were compared.
