Make sure your voice is heard!
The Survey of Rural Decision Makers is the largest and widest-reaching survey of New Zealand’s primary sector. Responding is your opportunity to make sure the horticulture voice is represented in what scientists know about what farmers think.
The survey is conducted online by Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research, a New Zealand Crown Research Institute. Topics in previous surveys included the primary sector’s attitudes toward regulation, sources of farming advice, land-use change, environmental performance, retirement planning, and well-being.
Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research is donating $3 to Farmers Adverse Events Trust for each commercial farm new commercial farm, forest, or growing operation that signs up. For every business that completes the survey after signing up, Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research will donate an extra $12 to Farmers Adverse Events Trust.
In addition, everyone who completes the survey goes into a prize draw to win one of ten $500 supermarket vouchers.
Sign up before 5pm on 30 May. A link to the survey will be sent to the email address you provide in early June.
