In the Mackenzie County there is a complete grading from sole dependence on income from wool; to wool and store stock; to wool, store stock fat lambs and cashcrops. In other words the types of farming vary from having no alternative forms of production to somewhere near the nebulous conception of a mixed farm where land may be used in a number of different ways. Reasons for the above gradation are altitude, topography, climate (included in climate is aspect) and to a certain extent soils although soils in a number of instances are influenced by the other environmental factors. In summary, the Mackenzie County is important for its production of, firstly, wool, secondly, store sheep for the down country and plains fattening and cash cropping farms and finally, to a certain degree, fat sheep with the sideline of a income of cash crops.
