No 346193, 9th Congress, Budapest, Hungary, 1993 from International Farm Management Association

Abstract: Resources that are assessed in Natal are documented, and include that of climate, soils, vegetation, markets, labour, management and finances. Their assessment enables the plannerto then determine land capability, management units and crop suitabilities. Unfortunately, problems pertaining to data retrieval, subjective and unfinished classifications and insufficient knowledge limit the planner in his ability to plan farms accurately. Limitations of these systems are identified and discussed.
