"... In PAGE 21: ... Organic with premium model: same as the organic production system with returns based on a premium of 50 percent for both lamb and beef, with 60 percent of lambs and 90 percent of cattle finished to specification. Changes in stock policy and specifically a higher cattle ratio of breeding cattle and cattle mated as rising 3-year-olds had the single biggest effect on the profitability of the organic farming system ( Table6 ). A change in stock policy, assuming static production and prices, results in a reduction of $65,361 in gross farm revenue, and a decline of over 50 percent in economic farm surplus.... ..."

"... In PAGE 46: ... Furthermore, they shed little light on the scale of agroecosystem enterprises, the temporal and spatial arrangement of production system components, and other agro- nomic and management practices that determine the local ca- pacity of each agroecosystem to deliver goods and services in a stable and sustained manner. Table6 lists a number of attributes that might be used to characterize agroecosystems, as well as some typical attribute values for two polar cases of low and high external-input production systems. But the range, complexity, and time dependent nature of such information generally make... ..."

"... In PAGE 62: ...7.1 Infrastructure and resources There was a general consensus that the agriculture service industry would need to change in response to widespread adoption of organic farming ( Table23 ). The number of suppliers of a range of organic products would increase, along with factory processing capability.... ..."

Table5 lists the N budgets predicted for a recently converted dairy farm, compared to a developed dairy farm within the Bog Burn catchment. Both farms were assumed to have the same farm management, production, fertiliser and supplementary feed inputs.... In PAGE 15: ... Both farms were assumed to have the same farm management, production, fertiliser and supplementary feed inputs. The N budgets presented in Table5 show that the recently converted dairy farm system was estimated to have higher N inputs due to increased N2-fixation and much higher immobilisation of N into soil organic matter. Gaseous N losses and leaching/runoff losses are slightly higher in the developed system.... ..."

"... In PAGE 32: ....3.4 The effects of integration of cropping Conversion to cropping is a viable option for sheep and beef farmers within the Toenepi catchment as an alternative to intensification. Table26 presents the N budgets for a forage- cropping farm growing maize silage followed by oat silage, for years one and 10 after converting from a sheep and beef farm system. To achieve this change in farm systems, fertiliser inputs were increased (especially Nitrogen inputs) with a greater Nitrogen input in year 10 than in year one after conversion.... In PAGE 32: ... Less Nitrogen was required in year one after conversion due to a high amount of Nitrogen being mineralised after cultivation. Table26 shows the increase in fertiliser N from 6 (sheep and beef) to 140 kg N/ha/yr in year 1,and to 280 kg N/ha/yr in year 10. Net mineralisation of Nitrogen occurs after conversion to cropping due to cultivation and there is a significantly greater input of Nitrogen in the first year after conversion than in year 10.... ..."

Table1 shows that the most wells were found in the oldest systems: Chambal (average of 7 p er minor command), followed by KRS (average of 6 per sample site ), and lowest in IGNP (1 per site), where water tables are lower, and farmers have been settled for less time.... ..."
