Abstract
Emphasis is given to constraints on intensive cropping provided by shortage of capital and related risk and uncertainty and hence on the interaction between allocation of income between expenditure for consumption and for investment. The study also notes the special importance of dairy production as a means of intensifying agricultural production. Actual relationships among farms are described through a recursive model.
