Abstract: Understanding the quantity and timing of labour to fulfill the goals of different cropping systems or crop rotations is critical, but poorly quantified and understood in many agricultural systems, including the grain-growing regions of eastern Australia. Yet, labour supply and demands are important considerations for farmers and can significantly influence their agronomic management and decisions to adopt modified crop rotation systems.
