The questionaire was sent to all Shareholding farmers and also to all Sharemilkers. 1039 farm owners and 260 sharemilkers received the questionaires. There was a 22 percent response. Actual numbers that responded were 226 owners and 57 sharemilkers. The reasons for undertaking the survey were to ascertain how farmers viewed their company and to see if there was any particular area in the companies performance where they believed it did not perform up to their expectations.
