  • Farming on the Peatlands of the Falkland Islands
    Farming on the peatlands of the Falkland Islands Jim McAdam Agri Food and Biosciences Institute, Queen’s University Belfast and the United Kingdom Falkland Islands Trust Abstract The Falkland Islands (Long 57-62°W; Lat51-53°S), land area 12,200km2 have a cool temperate (2.2°C.- 9.4°C), oceanic climate. Rainfall varies between 400-800mm and is lowest in spring. The islands were glaciated only on the highest ground with surrounding land affected by a periglacial environment. During the Post-glacial period acid, organic soils have formed mainly because of low temperature and the impervious clay-rich subsoil creating conditions which favour waterlogging. Upland peat, lowland peat or tussac (coastal) peat cover a large area of the entire land surface. Vegetation is typically dwarf shrub heath on drier soils and magellanic moorland on wetter soils. Agriculture is confined to extensive sheep farming in large enclosures (89% > c. 2000 ha). In the early days of the Colony (early 1800s) cattle roamed the islands and sheep were first introduced in the 1860s. They quickly became the main source of income on the (approx. 30) large farms which existed up until the early 1980s. Lord Shackleton’s Economic Survey (1976) recommending subdivision of the large farm units and transferring land ownership to local owners transformed the agricultural industry on the islands. Subsequently, the building of a certified abattoir in the early 2000s created further major opportunities. Traditionally, pasture improvement through reseeding and fertilising was practiced only on a very small scale. Recently the development of pastures with improved grasses and legumes coupled with rotational grazing has received much greater priority than previously.

The production of wool and other specialty of fi bers is concentrated in the Southern Cone of the sub-continent (Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and south of Brazil), where climate is temperate or deserted. Further north, with the exception of the Altiplano region, (the highlands of the Andes mountains), the production of these animal fi bers is not possible due to the tropical climatic conditions. * Delta Consultants, Director ** National Institute for Agriculture Technology, INTA 44 Proceedings of the Symposium on Natural Fibres Map 2 – South America: sheep producing areas THE PRODUCTION OF WOOL The main areas in South America producing wool are shown in Map 2.

  • ACSA and Cormo Histroy with Historical Documents
    History of the Cormo Breed and the American Cormo Sheep Association By Sue Reuser As I am winding down my involvement with Cormo sheep, I want to share all of the information that I have with others who are interested. I have been raising Cormo sheep for 24 years now and I still very pleased with them. I have also been able to supply many fiber artists with their awesome fleeces and many of them are very disappointed that they will no longer be able to get them here. I will just make a few comments here. I've spent more than a full day going through AC S A records (there is a lot of them) and making copies of what I thought gave most information about the breed. I'll try to keep my words at a minimum and let you read directly the words from those who were involved. Cormo sheep were first imported to the US by Travis Jones. He was a very active sheep and wool producer in the 1970s and highly respected within the industry. At that time there was a lot of wool produced on rangeland in the Western United States. You will be able to see that the purpose of the great expense and effort that Jones and later others made to import Cormo's, was to improve the wool production of their commercial range flocks. It is fortunate for us that some of these people were willing to form ACSA, start the registry and maintain purebred flocks. None of the people who bought the first imported sheep are currently raising purebred Cormo sheep but they passed the registry down and helped and encouraged others to raise purebred Cormo sheep.

  • Special Natural Fibers in South America
    THE DOHNE IN SOUTH AMERICA R.C. Cardellino Delta Consultants, Montevideo, Uruguay SUMMARY Sheep production (meat and wool) as well as other fibres, (in particular those produced by South American camelids) in South America is very important. The two main production systems, named commercial and smallholding are briefly described, including their geographic locations. Wool is by far the main animal fibre produced in South America with a volume of 102 million kg (greasy) followed by the alpaca fiber with 4 million kg. The Dohne breed was introduced for the first time during 2002 in Uruguay, being followed by Chile, the Falkland Island, Argentina and Perú, with very good productive and economic results. It is forecasted that the use of the Dohne breed will continue being a very important tool to increase market opportunities for sheep meat and wool in these countries. INTRODUCTION The South American sub-continent is a vast and variable area that includes 12 independent countries and many different ecological conditions, from tropical areas in the north to temperate climates in the centre and semi-desert and cold conditions in the south. It covers a range of environments in which sheep, goats and South American domestic camelids (llama and alpaca) produce meat, fiber, milk and skins for a large number of farmers, contributing substantially to their livelihoods and to the national economies. Given the variety of ecological and socio- economical conditions it is difficult to generalize on production areas, production systems and breeding practices. Sheep are most common in the vast temperate rangelands and deserts of the south, while camelids are largely found along the Central Andean region.

  • Prospect of the Falkland Islands
    The GEOGRAPHICAL JOURNAL Vol. 143 Part 1 March 1977 PROSPECT OF THE FALKLAND ISLANDS LORD SHACKLETON With contributions from R. J. STOREY and R. JOHNSON I. THE ECONOMIC SURVEY LORD SHACKLETON T IS 40 years since I last appeared on the platform of the Society as a lecturer I and, although I have since held the presidency, this is a very special occasion for me. I would like to express my gratitude to a number of people and organizations. I would first especially mention Mr. Neville French, the Governor of the Falkland Islands, and his wife and, of course, the people of the Falkland Islands themselves. Then, too, I would like to thank all those many people who both helped us and supplied, quite freely and candidly, the information we needed: the Falkland Islands' Government and officials, the Falkland Islands Company, the managers and owners of the many farms and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Most of all, my gratitude goes to the Royal Navy and the Captain and ship's company of HMS Endurance who helped us so greatly in our travels and, too, to the Royal Fleet Auxiliary Tidesurge which brought us home. I would like to say how grateful I am to the members of my survey team, who came mostly from the Economist Intelligence Unit. The members of the Economic Survey team were: Peter Mould (Team Leader); Gordon Eddie (Fisheries); Richard Johnson (Oil Economist); Bob Storey (Highlands and Islands Development Board); Huw Williams (Sheep Husban­ dry); Peter Williams (our Fiscal Expert); David Keeling (Foreign and Common­ wealth Office); Godifer Bodilly and Margaret Howl, secretaries.
