Abstract

During the first one hundred years of colonization Australian agriculture generally developed as family farm units. To day, many agricultural enterprises, such as pigs and poultry, have become agribusinesses. 1 Others, such as sheep, dairying and cereals, still remain as largely family operations. This thesis concentrates solely on the Australian wool industry - an industry compose of 100,000 individual decisionmakers, scattered over half of this continent.
