| Description: | <P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P> The aim of the Leverhulme funded project was to extract crop yields and carcass weights from farm records that survive for the period 1700-1914. The objective was to use the data to construct a history of farm production in England for that period. <B>Main Topics</B>:<BR> The data on yields for wheat, barley, oats, rye, peas and beans include: archival references; county and parish of locations; year; and yield in quarters per acre. For other crops an indication of the volumetric measure used has been provided.<br> <br> The data on carcass weights include: archival references; county and location; month and year of sale; deadweight in lbs; and descriptive information regarding the breed or variety of animal. Data on sheep have been divided into ewes, lambs, sheep and wethers; those for pigs into bacon pigs, porkers, hogs, pigs and sows; and those for cattle into calves, cows/heifers and beef cattle.<br> <br> Please note: this study does not include information on named individuals and would therefore not be useful for personal family history research.<br> |
