ON-FARM

Here's how you can decide what we research

The National Agricultural Survey helps determine what we research. It takes 10 minutes to complete.

The deadline for Kondinin Group's NAS has been extended to 15 June.

It is open to Kondinin Group members and all farmers who would like a specific topic, piece of machinery or equipment researched.

The NAS guides our independent research program and takes just 10 minutes to complete. 

The link to fill it in is here: www.farmingahead.com.au/nas 

Hardcopies were fixed to the cover of the April edition of Farming Ahead and these can be sent in right up to the mid-June deadline.

The deadline extension comes about because it has been a busy time of year, particularly with reasonable seedng rainfall around the country - so many farmers have been too busy to get to it.

In addition to helping guide independent farming research, those who complete the survey go into the draw to win one of five complimentary 12-month memberships or membership extensions.
