This publication reports a series of case studies comparing the relative profitability of different agricultural systems incorporating woody crops with conventional agriculture in the dryland cropping zones of Western Australia (WA) and New South Wales (NSW).

The economic methodology and the spreadsheet developed to evaluate these farming systems have broad application to the evaluation of alternative land uses.
