1983 opinions on farm policy from leading Missouri farmers

"In March 1983, 1,600 of Missouri's leading farmers were mailed a questionnaire asking them to state their opinions about current issues in farm policy. The answers from the 745 farmers who responded are summarized in this guide sheet.* The names of farmers sent questionnaires were selected randomly from the mailing list for the extension newsletter Economic and Marketing Information for Missouri Agriculture and from a list assembled by area extension specialists. The farmers included in the March 1983 survey are believed to be representative of Missouri's leading farmers, but not of all farmers. The survey cannot be regarded as reporting for all of Missouri agriculture."--First page.Meredith M. Burks and Harold F.
