These computer models were used to examine the effects of changing the levels and performance of these resources. The study also aimed to describe the levels of labour and machinery use on such farms.<br> A later study by the same Principal Investigator uses a subset of part of these data - 'Large-scale Commercial Farming in South East England, 1941, 1978, 1981 and 1998-1999', held at the UK Data Archive under SN:4154.<B>Main Topics</B>:<BR>Variables<br> Size of farm and enterprises; details of farm labour force (workers, wages, overtime, manual work by farmer, etc.); inventory of farm machinery; rates of work for farming operations; schedule and timing of normal sequence of operations carried out on each major crop.
