      abstract = {The economic impact of weeds on farms in the New England  Region of New South Wales is estimated from data from a  cross -sectional survey.  Weeds can be classed as noxious  or declared plants, plants that the farmers perceived as  weeds, and trees -- which many farmers also perceived as  weeds.  Variables were defined for several levels of  intensity of infestation for each of these three classes of  weeds.  The impact of each these variables, on property  income and stocking, was estimated through Cobb-Douglas  production functions.  The presence of very-heavy  infestations of non-noxious weeds, and heavy infestations  of non-noxious weeds, were found to be associated with  reductions in income.  In total, the income of the  representative property would be increased by 15 per cent,  ceteris paribus, if these infestations were removed.},
