Abstract

The integration of investigations into usable farming packages involves both development of particular technologies and conceptual frameworks. This is illustrated for the high country in the particular technologies of hay winter feeding, legume rhizobia seed coating, irrigation, mid-rainfall low input development with perennial lupin, in-situ winter feed systems, ultra-fine wool production, and rabbit and hieracium control. Attitudes or concepts are illustrated by the changing views on high country erosion, environment gradients and specie niche, feed banks, special purpose pastures, farm monitoring, product specification and computer expert systems. Keywords: concepts, high country, New Zealand, technologies
