They were intended for meat production and had distinctive large, fat tails. They came from the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.]]> 2022-01-31 03:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020516770 0095241 https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020517633 The first Australian wheat crop was harvested at Parramatta in 1789. As the number of people in the colony increased, so too did efforts to expand wheat production. For a long time the major problem lay in transporting the grain from the farms to a suitable market site.]]> 2022-01-31 03:09:05 UTC https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020517633 0095241 https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020518735 During the 19th century, many machines were developed to make land preparation, mainly for wheat growing, easier. Additionally, several plant varieties were improved through breeding, increasing their productivity. Oats and many varieties of ryegrass were developed and improved.]]> 2022-01-31 03:10:30 UTC https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020518735 0095241 https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020520024 Since the 1980s, Australian agricultural production systems have been geared towards the use of modern technology and the incorporation of new scientific discoveries. To improve production efficiency and to lower costs (especially of labor), farms became bigger and many new types of large machines were used to prepare the land, and to grow and harvest the crops.]]> 2022-01-31 03:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020520024 0095241 https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020520644 By the mid- to late 1980s, farms were increasingly run on business principles. Today it is important not only to produce efficiently, but also to be able to market the product. Marketing is no longer seen as delivering the output gained from a farm to the local market; more importance is attached to exporting Australia’s rural products overseas.]]> 2022-01-31 03:12:46 UTC https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020520644 0095241 https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020521492 2022-01-31 03:14:01 UTC https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020521492 0095241 https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020521761 2022-01-31 03:14:27 UTC https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020521761 0095241 https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020522931 2022-01-31 03:16:07 UTC https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020522931 0095241 https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020523243 2022-01-31 03:16:34 UTC https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020523243 0095241 https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020523306 2022-01-31 03:16:39 UTC https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020523306 0095241 https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020524116 While meeting the requirements of markets continues to influence Australian agriculture, the need for sustainable practices and the further application of technology have emerged as major influences on the agricultural industries.]]> 2022-01-31 03:17:42 UTC https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020524116 0095241 https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020524281 2022-01-31 03:17:51 UTC https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020524281 0095241 https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020525103 2022-01-31 03:19:08 UTC https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020525103 0095241 https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020525430 2022-01-31 03:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020525430 0095241 https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020525619 2022-01-31 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020525619 0095241 https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020525914 2022-01-31 03:20:15 UTC https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020525914 0095241 https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020526357 2022-01-31 03:20:45 UTC https://padlet.com/0095241/7nvf2mnw980195e3/wish/2020526357
