AGSY is grateful for these early authors – they laid a solid framework for the journal and continue to contribute even today. All these papers are available under promotional open access from https://t.co/ZIjnwOGzFi. Next up 1980-1989! 6/6

While this might be standard methodology today, it was novel for its time. Its legacy is such that more than 45 years on there have been more than 20 citations in the last two years! 5/6

Rounding out this slice https://doi.org/10.1016/0308-521X(77)90015-4 by Jerzy Kostrowicki. This promoted the use of typologies, now almost ubiquitous in farming systems research, as a classification system that would promote systematic research and comparison between studies. 4/6

In the following volume, is the seminal paper by Baldwin et al. https://t.co/xAAG03vkY8. After developing the model they identified areas of ruminant digestion needing more attention and suggested that the model was suitable for hypothesis-testing. 3/6

https://t.co/MI7p9yluiH by Morley et al appeared in Volume 3 and remains well-cited today. They quantified the flushing effect - ovulation rate in ewes being more driven by plane of nutrition than liveweight – that has become a key element of models. 2/6

https://t.co/7sa8cydq92 described a general model of a cattle production system and https://t.co/VyzIHJ80Tu described its implementation. Their impact on modelling of cattle systems is evident in that they are still being cited some 45 years since original publication. 2/3

This is the first in a series highlighting papers from the first 200 volumes of Agricultural Systems. Two of the most cited papers from 1976 to 1980 were about modelling cattle production by Saunders and Cartwright. 1/3 #AGSY_200volumes

The editorial outlines some of the trends and history, identifies some enduring themes across the 200 volumes, and flags that it is time to begin a review of the scope and what our priority themes should be.
