Abstract
Late in 1975 the Agricultural Economics Research Unit
surveyed 3,156 randomly chosen South Island sheep farmers to
obtain information on their transport needs and problems. The primary aim of the survey was to quantify the volume
and flow patterns of the two major South Island farm commodities:
livestock and wool. Farm management
practices, and the basis for certain farm management
decisions, were also investigated in the survey to clarify their
impact on transport efficiency. As well, the opinions of farmers
were sought on a number of important farm transport issues.
The resulting findings in this variety of matters are presented
in this report.
