Guiding Queensland Agriculture 1887-1987

Abstract

Guiding Queensland Agriculture outlines the growth that has taken place over one hundred years - a growth that has paralleled that of the State - and chronicles its achievements.
As it enters its second century this Department of food and fibre resources stands beside the primary producers of Queensland ready to meet even greater challenges in the future: the complexities of modern agriculture, increasingly recurrent issues such as that posed by pesticide residue, soil erosion, the threat of introduced animal and plant diseases, environmental issues, and the national and international economic climate, not to mention the ever-present challenge of seasonal conditions.
