Abstract
This survey is the eighth major survey of New Zealand Farmer
Intentions and Opinions. All have been aimed at providing policy
makers and those in the agri-business sector in New Zealand with data
on which they can formulate policies and planning.
The surveys have been continued in response to demands from
those who want data on what farmers are intending to do, what they are
thinking on major issues, aspects of the financial side, and what are
some of the factors that determine their input purchases.
In this survey were inserted special questions on financial
matters raised in earlier surveys. In addition some questions were
included to ascertain some feelings and views of the rural sector on a
range of issues including soil testing, use of salt on farms,
diversification, health, farm expenditure, farm values, farm forestry,
and education and training.
