Details of two‐way flows of primary products, implements, labour, information and finance drawn from runs of farm diaries, stock and station agents’ records, and newspaper articles were used to analyse work schedules on three comparable properties between 1874 and 1930, and to track the development of mixed cropping and livestock farming in southern New Zealand when draught horses were giving way to either steam or internal combustion engines as the prime source of motive power. The earliest records are for two farms in the late 19th century, and the most recent are for a third property in the 1920s.

从殖民后期到1930年代新西兰南部低地农场的工作时间表

从农场日记的运行，库存和车站代理人的记录以及报纸的文章中提取的主要产品，工具，劳力，信息和财务双向流动的详细信息，用于分析1874年至1930年之间三个可比较物业的工作时间表，以及跟踪南部的混合种植和畜牧业的发展，当时吃草的马匹已经取代蒸汽或内燃机成为主要动力。最早的记录是19世纪后期的两个农场，而最近的记录是1920年代的第三个农场。
