The Potential for Enterprise Diversification and Resource Adjustment in the Wimmera Region of Victoria

Review of Marketing and Agricultural Economics, 1972, vol. 40, issue 02, 12

Abstract: The study concerns an important specialized wheatgrowing area of Western Victoria, located approximately 200 miles northwest of Melbourne. Linear programming was used to examine the effect of changes in enterprise mix and resource combination on farm income. The adoption of uncommon enterprises, and increases in the land/labour and wheat quota/land ratios were found to improve returns on the typical farm.
