From the Editor: It's time for the NAS again

WE want to provide members with the information they need most. That's why we are asking, pleading, with members to fill in their National Agricultural Survey this year.

From the Editor: It's time for the NAS again

It is attached to the front of the magazine and is free to post back once completed. It can also be done online.

Last year we gathered some fantastic data that has driven our 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. You wanted to see more on plasma cutting, technology, UTV’s and drones amongst plenty of other fantastic suggestions.

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. 

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

In addition to providing a repeat of harvester front testing, we have included numerous case studies and feedback from various front owners, a format that members told us they appreciate in the 2016 NAS.

It is an active demonstration of listening to what members want and again I would encourage all members to fill in the NAS and send it in before the end of the month.

Fill in the NAS for a chance to win one of five 12-month Kondinin Group memberships.
