Table 1: Indicators of e-commerce readiness (Stricker et al 2001). It is easy to understand why Internet access on Australian farms is low when bandwidth (capacity for data to be sent and received over the Internet) in Australia is considerably lower than the bandwidth available in the USA or Germany, as can be seen in Table 1. Not only is Internet bandwidth very slow in Australia, but it is still too expensive for many people in rural areas. This was reinforced in a presentation given by Ian McClelland, a grain farmer and Chairman of the Birchip Cropping Group, at the ABARE Outlook 2001 conference in July. He remarked that quot;using the Net in the bush is still expensive (and) despite it apos;s staunch advocates, use of the Net is very time consuming, and the attempt to find information is slow, often tedious and frequently fruitless quot; (McClelland 2000). Despite the negative aspects of using the Internet in rural areas, there are a number of networks in the Australian agri-food industry that have been proactive in regards to their adoption of the Internet. The first case study, of the Birchip Cropping Group (BCG), is a producer initiated and driven network. The second is a case study of the Victorian Agribusiness Forums which have been initiated by local government with the establishment of the Alpine Valleys Agribusiness Forum1. While not producer initiated, the Agribusiness Forums have become more producer driven over time. Birchip Cropping Group (BCG)
"... In PAGE 2: ... CASE STUDIES Although the Internet has been commercially accessible since the early to mid 1990 apos;s, uptake of the Internet in the Australian agri-food industry has been relatively slow. Table1 confirms that in 1999, while Internet penetration rate in Australia was comparatively high in global terms (41% of the population), the number of farms with Internet access was low at 18%. And although the most recent statistics, released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in September this year, reveal that the number of farms using the Internet grew to 34% in June 2000, the rate remains ... ..."

Table 3. Average yields of soybeans from variety trials conducted in eastern Canada and climate variables .
"... In PAGE 13: ... Yield averages were adjusted for years with missing data using neighbouring trials as was done for corn. Data were obtained from Ontario Soybean Variety Trials Reports conducted by the Ontario Oil amp; Protein Seed Crop Committee, from the Canadian Soybean Coop Registration Trial Reports published by Eastern Cereal and Oilseeds Research Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Ottawa, and from some trial co- operators ( Table3 ). Statistics on farm level yields and production of soybeans are shown in Table 4.... In PAGE 23: ... b) Soybeans The relationship between average yields from soybean variety trials in eastern Canada and CHU is shown in Figure 14. Yields from trials on clay soils in southern Ontario were not included in the analyses, since these trials tended to yield lower than those on clay loam soils in the same area ( Table3 ). Although yields tended to increase linearly with CHU, the yield response to CHU was considerably lower than for corn.... ..."

In PAGE 39: ... This assumes that in 1998, industry prices were well above equilibrium levels and that they will move closer to equilibrium by 2003 with the substantial supply increase. Premium red grape prices are projected to fall from $1,606 to $1,106 per tonne (-31 per cent) between 1998 and 2003 ( Table12 ). That projected 2003 price approximates the real prices recorded during the 1994 vintage.... In PAGE 39: ...31 to $10.59 (-6 per cent) in the five years to 2003 ( Table12 ).11 Due to the rapid increase in premium red grape production between 1998 and 2003, the export supply of premium wine is projected to escalate in this period.... ..."

"... In PAGE 4: ... Negotiations were not completed until July 1996 and, in accordance with undertakings previously given, industry was then given formal notice of the MEPS levels to commence more than three years later. Table1 records the 1999 MEPS levels and a revised MEPS level that the AGO has proposed to industry should commence in October 2004 (but not yet agreed with industry). The proposed 2004 MEPS levels are equivalent to the US 2001 levels after taking account of differing test procedures, climate and other considerations....
