	Station (Australian agriculture) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Station is the term for a large Australian landholding used for livestock production.
		The owner of a station is called a Grazier.
		The word 'grazier' corresponds to the North American term 'rancher'.

	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Farmer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		A farmer engaged in large-scale cattle raising for meat is usually referred to as a rancher, grazier or stockman.
		In the context of developing nations or other pre-industrial cultures, most farmers practice a meager subsistence agriculture - a simple organic farming system with simple crop rotation or other techniques to maximize yield, using saved seed which is native to the ecoregion.
		The non-steerer was known as 'the farmer', but the connection with the agricultural term is not known.

	Sheep station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the Australian context, getting wool from sheep involves annual musters of sheep to be shorn, and the shearing shed is an important part of the station.
		The term generally used by agricultural and environmental professionals for sheep station forms of landholding is rangeland, but is not in general use by Australians.
		The word station is also a traditional Australian English term to denote a large and/or important landholding for any agricultural purpose.

		Researchers in the Australian Sheep CRC are developing RIAM (remote individual animal management), in which sheep are automatically logged, weighed and checked for certain health conditions as they come to water or move from one paddock to another.
		Australian scientists are applying “behavioural tests” to individual sheep and cattle to select those that are the easiest to manage and, ultimately, produce the best meat.

	Bailing out farmers? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Over recent weeks, farmers have been copping some criticism from numerous journalists, and academics arguing that Australian farmers are not managing the land very well, and by now should know the vagaries of farming in Australia and therefore not need handouts and support in times of drought.
		We are particularly annoyed at "shiny bummed intellectuals" waxing lyrical on government handouts, welfare etc available to farmers as opposed to the lack thereof to urban Australians.
		The critics of support for Australian farmers in times of disaster, fail to see the "whole" picture of how our society works and the interrelateness between rural and city communities.

		As a case study, the cotton industry is examined in detail to understand the end-user and social demands on agricultural production, the technical issues that challenge the farmer and the diversity of other specialist information from relevant disciplines such as entomology, pathology and soil science that must be integrated into the farming system.
		Understanding the demands of herbivores and of the soil-plant-rhizospherre ecosystem and of the grazier will be used as the basis of developing scientific principles of sustainable grazing management in different socio-economic and environmental conditions.
		The relationship between agricultural production and natural resource management is also considered as part of a modern production environment, with the impact of recent legislation supporting Ecologically Sustainable Development on agriculture and the agricultural response to it as the focus of discussion.

		When a Victorian grazier, Bruce Wilson, and seven others in the wool-based western district decided four years ago to trial Dr Davidson's new wheats, they were dismissed, like the scientist, as dangerous radicals.
		Australians forget that the highest wheat yields in the world are achieved in the UK -- in a climate similar to our high-rainfall zones.
		Graziers from across Victoria's western districts turned up, enthusiastic and optimistic about the first real alternative to wool that most have ever had.

		According to the Australian Sheep Industry CRC and NSW DPI Project Officer Bill Murray, electronic flock management is better for the sheep, more efficient for the grazier and ultimately better for the consumer, in the form of more tender meat.
		“If a grazier wants to select, for example, all the pregnant ewes, or all the wethers that are over a certain weight and ready for market, he has only to set the system to the desired parameters,” he says.
		A major Australian advance in disease prediction is giving health authorities worldwide increased power to predict the impact of an outbreak of an epidemic like avian flu or SARS on the population – and take early action.

		Tillage, or cultivation (a term which also has broader meanings related to the raising of plants in general) is the agricultural preparation of the soil to receive seeds.

		One hundred graziers in Western Queensland were randomly selected from 7 shires and surveyed by mail and telephone (43 respondents) to explore levels of knowledge and use of climate information, practices and information needs.
		We found 36% of respondents apply the Southern Oscillation Index to property decisions but 92% were unaware El Niño Southern Oscillation's predictive signal in the region is greater for pasture growth than rainfall, suggesting they may not recognise the potential of pasture growth forecasts.
		Almost 75% of graziers consider they are conservative or risk averse in their attitude to managing their enterprise.

		Agents will be bred, released and redistributed by NSW Agriculture and local weed control authorities until the maximum likely Paterson’s curse control has been achieved or until funding for this work ceases.

		Weed invasion is one of the most serious and expensive land degradation problems in Australia, and one of the least known and understood by the Australian community.
		'The National Farmers' Federation estimates that the average Farmer and grazier spends about 30 per cent of their income on pest control, a large portion of which relates to weeds.
		In these difficult times for producers it is important that we identity problem plants before they become established and contribute further to the $3.3 billion weeds cost Australian agriculture each year" NSW Agriculture weeds agronomist Steve Sutherland said.

	The Relocation of the Market for Australian Wool, 1880-1939
		A series of historical developments altered the efficiency criteria for the existing institutional arrangements, notably the growing international dominance of Australian wool production, the evolution of the small grazier, the geographical diversification of demand, and improved international transport and communications.
		Central to this market shift was the role of large pastoral agent firms based in Australia who employed their local knowledge, producer contacts, and trade specialisation to reduce costs.
		Australian graziers benefited from local market signals and quicker sale realisation.
