Abstract: A brief review of farming in New Zealand tracing the slow growth and acceptance of on-farm advice proffered by the N.Z. Department of Agriculture from the 1920's- Following the Depress ion and the necessity for farm debt restructuring, the value of the whole farm approach was demonstrated and this was the start of recognition of farm management as a profession. This recognition continued over the next 10-15 years with the development of an academic course at Lincoln and special training in farm management. The growth of farm management as a profession and as an academic discipline had been realised and it was all based on the needs of farmers and their acceptance of it. Through the 1950's and 60's the status of the procession flourished with the formation of Farmers Improvement Clubs and then farm management consultancy practices, the N.Z. Society of Farm Management and the registration of consultants besides the availability of research results. The situation in N.Z. over the last 20 years up to the present is outlined.
