Book Description
This thesis is aimed at explaining and understanding the changes in farm structure in a defined region in East Cork and examining the processes by which this change has taken place. As such, it engages with what has become an increasingly pertinent geographical question; the differential transformation of farm structures in developed market economies and the effects of this process on the economic well being of rural areas. The term 'structural change' generally refers to the decline in farms numbers and the consolidation of existing farm units into larger entities. Because of the diverse nature of data sources necessary to complete such a study, a range of methodologies were used. Substantial use were made of empirical data gleaned from official studies and statistical abstracts, and much of this data were also used in the creation of maps to illustrate the nature and extent of change in agriculture in the East Cork region. A questionnaire was administered to a selected sample of farmers, and the empirical data taken from this were also used. Furthermore, a series of interviews were conducted with farmers and non-farmers working in the support industries. These various data sources are used to examine the subject of agricultural change by breaking it down into various themes, such as the changes in land-use, the technology used in farming and the human elements and consequences of such broad ranging changes in the structure of agriculture. This thesis reveals that structural change has been, until recently, relatively gradual and incremental. The study area has witnessed a subtle but important restructuring of the agricultural production carried out therein, with the concentration of crops of increasing value, particularly during the 1980s. The machinery used to achieve this increase in volume and value of crops became increasingly complicated and expensive, and accordingly became concentrated in the hands of contractors. Crucially, a distinct disparity emerged between farms of different sizes as smaller farms became increasingly unprofitable, and hence unsustainable, as a consequence of the above changes.

Book Description
Published in association with the Group for the Study of Irish Historic Settlement and the Agricultural History Society of Ireland, this collection explores the relationship between Irish settlement and agricultural practice from the Neolithic to the 18th century. The types of farming that took place in any particular period of Irish history had a powerful impact on the development of settlement. Interdisciplinary studies in this volume address key periods to illustrate that process: from the spread of Neolithic pastoralism, the very basis of farming on the island; through the medieval focus on tillage, which gave rise to manorial villages and granges; to the 18th-century agricultural revolution and the impact that had on urban and rural landscapes. Contents include: an introduction to agriculture and settlement * the early medieval farm * the evolution of cattle and of cattle farming systems * the Cistercian grange: a medieval farming system * agriculture and the medieval manor * the creaght: farming system or social unit? * the changing structure of Irish agriculture in the 17th century * Collon, Co. Louth: the landscape legacy of an 18th-century estate * Irish farming systems. [Subject: History, Irish Studies, Agriculture, Medieval Studies]

Book Description
After the Famine examines the recovery in Irish agriculture in the wake of the disastrous potato famine of the 1840s, and presents an annual agricultural output series for Ireland from 1850 to 1914. Michael Turner's detailed 1996 study is in three parts: he analyses the changing structure of agriculture in terms of land use and peasant occupancy; he presents estimates of the annual value of Irish output between 1850 and 1914; and he assesses Irish agricultural performance in terms of several measures of productivity. These analyses are placed in the context of British and European agricultural development, and suggest that, contrary to prevailing orthodoxies, landlords rather than tenants were the main beneficiaries in the period leading up to the land reforms. After the Famine is an important contribution to an extremely controversial area of Irish social and economic history.

Book Description
The changing methods of crop and livestock production during the 'Age of Improvement' in Ireland, and some of the ways in which they shaped rural society and the landscape. It shows how sensible farmers were, in developing systems and techniques that fitted their resources, or lack of them, making Ireland a major agricultural producer, and overcoming huge environmental and social obstacles to ensure the survival of millions of people. -- Publisher description
