This year we are giving away five 12-month membership extensions just for participating. Simply complete and return the 2017 NAS booklet sent out with your February edition of Farming Ahead or click HERE to do it online.

The Survey shapes the information we provide members and the data is used by the team at Farming Ahead to get a feel for what issues affect farmers the most.

Kondinin Group research general manager Ben White said last year the team gathered some fantastic data that has driven the Farming Ahead research agenda for the past 12 months.

“Responding to what members asked us for; more on disc seeders, sheep genetics, grain handling and storage gear,” White said.

“You wanted to see more on plasma cutting, technology, UTV’s and drones amongst plenty of other fantastic suggestions,” he said.

“We try not to bombard members with surveys, saving all our questions up for this one yearly opportunity, so if there is only one survey you fill in annually, make it this one.”

Members will be rewarded with more tailored, specific and detailed information on the topics they want.

A growing series of reports, each focused on a key discussion point for the farming sector, brought to you by the Kondinin team.
