DESCRIPTION:The investment in the storage of grain stocks was done for num
 erous reasons involving both commercial as well as non-commercial motives.
  The ledgers of three manorial estates located in the Rhineland area and W
 estphalia in the 18th and 19th century document seasonal sales behaviour a
 nd the volume of carry-over stocks. In combination with grain prices of ne
 arby urban markets and using the correspondence between the landlord and h
 is administrator\, this paper will investigate the nature of manorial mana
 gement\, looking at how much ‘rational’ investment there was compared 
 to. paternalistic exchange with dependents.
