Farm mechanisation in Chilalo has in the past caused severe labour displacement, but the 1975 land reform has altered the institutional basis of farming and provides an opportune moment for the evaluation of mechanisation policy. The present study uses, inter alia, data from interviews with Chilalo smallholders in order to arrive at an understanding of any problems arising from seasonality in employment, since this is an essential prerequisite for relevant policy formulation. Examination of the availability of oxen and family labour in relation to the requirements imposed by typical crop mixes shows that during even a single cropping season periods of excess labour and/or oxen availability alternate with periods of sometimes acute shortage....
