Abstract

THE development of virgin country for farming by the Lands and Survey Department started in New Zealand nearly forty years ago. From modest beginnings, when taken over in the early thirties from the Department of Agriculture, and with increasing experience through the years, the work has been greatly accelerated. Today, it is widespread in both islands on such a scale that, in total, it represents the largest farm development ever undertaken in the history of New Zealand.
