This article gives some results of production function studies carried out on small groups of farms. The results indicate that such studies can produce useful suggestions for farm reorganisation even when only 20 farms constitute the sample. Since service centres are being set up in Australia to help advise farmer groups or samples of this size, production function studies on the material provided may be unexpectedly rewarding.
