The Kondinin Group research program is heavily driven by the results of this one annual survey.

Known as the National Agricultural Survey (NAS), the results help to gather information for future reports and steer the direction of our research work.

Two key questions include what machinery or equipment readers would like independently researched and what key issues farming businesses are facing.

There is also opportunity to request a practical topic for our ever-popular From the Workshop section.

Its just a short survey (mostly tick-boxes) and shouldn't take much more than 12-minutes to complete.

So please, have your say in what we research without fear of favour.
