This report presents a description of the northern cropping region of NSW and of several identifiable crop-based dryland farming systems therein. Six whole-farm budgets are described based on subregional characteristics and the related farming systems. They include agronomic and agricultural production characteristics as technical parameters in a transparent financial framework, and use a computer spreadsheet format to allow analysis of alternative technologies and management scenarios. Alternative crop rotations in a whole-farm context were compared, relating to six sub-regions in northern NSW.
