		Dry farm land is on the edges of the valley or at higher elevations to take advantage of heavier precipitation and cooler summer temperatures.
		In Utah, ninety-three percent of cultivated dry farms is in the northern part of the state -- primarily Box Elder, Cache and Juab counties -- with concentrations in the southeastern corner of the state as well.
		However, farming continued to be a major economic source in Utah with a high of 28,500 farms in 1940.

	On-Farm Trials - Some Biometric Guidelines
		For researcher-managed, on-farm trials, the present booklet is relevant on problems of site selection and on collaboration with farmers concerning site characterisation and blocking etc. However, the main emphasis of this booklet is on guidelines for trials that are, at least to some extent, managed or designed by the farmers.
		The initial stimulus for organising experiments on farmers' land was to broaden the range of validity of conclusions beyond the narrow confines of a research institute setting.
		One is that with on-farm trials we expect a farm by treatment interaction, and one of the objectives of the trial is often to explore this interaction.

	Ideas--Brook Farm History
		The farm was bought from Charles and Maria Ellis, according to the deed on October 11, 1841.
		The transcendentalists perceived farming to be the occupation most favorable to personal growth because of its distance from the market, proximity to nature, and promise of a subsistence to protect moral independence.
		The Farm seems to have a personal relationship for the author, considering the heart-felt style of the author, it pulls the reader into almost hoping the Farm had gone on.

	News- On Farm Experiment
		Ryder Farm, Brewster, NY, is beginning a 5-year experiment to evaluate organic growing of row crops in permanent beds separated by permanent sod strips on farm fields of indefinite acreage.
		This long used 5-tine implement may be used on growing beds in the early phases of the experiment, but--hopefully--can soon be phased out as the soil responds to relief from compaction and some judicious applications of compost.
		It is likely, though, that USDA monies will be restricted largely to the composting side of the experiment, leaving the larger costs of equipment purchases to be borne alone by Ryder Farm.

	Windhorse Farm - The Ecoforestry Experiment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Forestry practices have remained the same and farming is inspired by the natural processes in the forest.
		Most of the food which grows on the farm is consumed here by people or other animals; however, honey, eggs, ghee, and a variety of fresh vegetables, herbs, flowers, and fruits is sold, usually from the farm gate.
		You are invited to join in the Windhorse Farm experiment by coming for a tour, participating in existing or new research programs, living at the farm as student, intern or resident staff, or marrying one of our family members.

	THE TOLSTOY FARM: GANDHI'S EXPERIMENT IN "COOPERATIVE COMMONWEALTH"
		The Tolstoy Farm was the second of its kind of experiments established by Gandhi.
		The farm would not only meet the expenditure problems as residents would be doing "something to earn a living", but would provide Gandhi with an opportunity to experiment with a kind of communal living he had seen in 1895 among the Trappists at the Marianhill monastery sixteen miles from Durban in the vicinity of Pinetown.
		He experimented with a view to "attaining harmony with nature", because "each organ of sense subserves the body and through the body the soul..." The meals were to be of the simplest kind.

	Communalism (6) (Rexroth)
		Brook Farm owes its historical importance to the fact that it was not an experiment of obscure eccentrics, or what most people would call religious fanatics, but rather was a carefully considered attempt to secede from the dominant society by representative members of the intellectual elite.
		Although Brook Farm was on the border between a religious and a secular colony, and although its sophisticated members were far from being superstitious or “primitive” or dogmatic in their beliefs, the governing philosophy was certainly millenarian.
		Brook Farm struggled for awhile, but “the enterprise faded, flickered, died down, and expired,” and the land and buildings were sold at auction on April 13, 1849, contemporaneously with the consolidation of the power of Louis Napoleon in France and the dying out of the last embers of the Revolution of 1848 in Europe.

	Full text of EARLY CANID DOMESTICATION: THE FARM FOX EXPERIMENT, by Lyudmila N. Trut
		Foxes had been farmed since the beginning of this century, so the earliest steps of domestication — capture, caging and isolation from other wild foxes — had already left their marks on our foxes' genes and behavior.
		That means that whenever a fox pup with a novel trait has been born into the herd, the probability that it acquired the trait through inbreeding (that is, by inheriting both of its mutant genes from the same ancestor) has varied between only 2 and 7 percent.
		If our experiment should continue, and if fox pups could be raised and trained the way dog puppies are now, there is no telling what sort of animal they might one day become.

		We begin with an experimental farm, whose experimentation lay not only in agricaultural method but also in social relations, land ownership and the search for respectability and citizenship.
		We tell the story of this farm not only in terms of the original experiment, devised by Governor Arthur Phillip and carried out by released convict James Ruse, but also as an interesting example heritage and how to manage it.
		The story of this farm is imbedded in and under the landscape, and can be excavated or traced through documents, material culture, remnants of brickwork and even the self-consciousness of Ruse himself.
