Abstract The development and evolution of an agricultural system is influenced by many factors including binding constraints (limiting factors), choice of investments, and historic presence of land and income inequality. This study analyzed the development of two farming systems: mechanized, “economies of scale” farming in the Arkansas Delta and crofting in the Scottish Highlands. The study hypothesized that the current farm size in each region can be partially attributed to the binding constraints of either land or labor.

  • OIR the GRAPEVINE Newsletter No 40 - December 2018
    OIR THE GRAPEVINE Newsletter No 40 - December 2018 ANTARCTICA At our November meeting we were captivated by Judith Parrott who was awarded an Arts Fellowship by the Australian Government in 2006 and spent four months at Casey Station, in the Windmill Islands, just outside the Antarctic Circle. It is almost twice the size of Australia and 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice where the average is 1.9km thick. Using photography, sound, audio-visual and prose Judith was able to examine the relationships between people, place and culture in this remote and fascinating part of the world. Casey Station is used for scientific research addressing critical issues: climate change, the human footprint in Antarctica, wildlife conservation and sustainable management of fisheries. Through her remarkable photographs and recordings, we were transported to Antarctica to begin to understand the climate, landscape and wildlife of the region. Living quarters were colour coded shipping containers, one of which was a hydroponics building where lettuce, green vegetables, tomatoes and fresh herbs grew. Entertainment was self-made and some evenings impromptu concerts would be staged by the expeditioners. When exploring the local icy terrain Judith travelled on skis and sometimes by boat where she captured photographs of Elephant seals, Weddell seals, Adelie penguins and Skua birds which prey on the eggs and young Adelie penguins. It was also fascinating to see photographs of the Plateau – a total white vista where Judith felt as if she was floating on a giant white flying saucer! Finally, Judith took us to another station - Mawson - situated on an isolated outcrop of rock on the coast in Mac Robertson Land, at the edge of the Antarctic plateau.
