Concrete on the Form
Although concrete has been used for hundreds of years as a building material, its application to farming is of comparatively recent origin. Its use in the construction of floors, tanks, silos, troughs, fence-posts, paths, buildings, pipes, field drains, etc., is well recognised and there are few farmers who have not at some time laid down a path or constructed a trough in concrete. The advantages of concrete lie in the fact that it is relatively cheap to use, easy to prepare, and, once placed, is there for years. Valuable information on the mixing of concrete and its practical uses on the farm is available in the free illustrated bulletin “Concrete on the Farm,” obtainable from the Department of Agriculture, Wellington.
