This survey is the second in a series 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 developed 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.
