Abstract
This chapter examines how Monaghan's agricultural economy evolved in the
period between the Famine and the partition oflreland in 1921. It begins with
an outline of the general features oflrish agriculture in the 19th century which
provides a contexr for analysing rrends within county Monaghan itself. A
benchmark profile is then presented of the key features of the county's farm
economy at the beginning of the review period, against which subsequent change
is compared. The process of change is initially analysed for the period 1855-
1880, prior to the introduction to Ireland of the creamery system which was to
have a major impact on fuming in Monaghan. The development of this system
is then described in some depth, fOllowed by a review of how agriculture in
general changed in the county between 1880 and 1920. A concluding section
summarises the main findings of the chapter and the subsequent evolution of
Monaghan's creamery sector.
