Seeking arable participants for Beef + Lamb survey

Beef + Lamb New Zealand are seeking South Island mixed finishing farms to include in their national Sheep and Beef Farm survey. The survey links physical production with financial returns and the capital structure of farms.

If your farm fits the survey stratification and you are interested, you would join a group of 530+ farmers in a unique farm survey that has run for 75 years providing unique benchmark data (over 2,000 data points) for your farming situation and consolidated data for the industry.

  • There is no cost other than 1-2 hours per year for an in-person interview and access to your production and financial data.
  • The service is free and you may exit at any time.
  • After financials statements are received, you receive a comprehensive set of management accounts and productive metrics.  
  • The relationship remains confidential to you and the survey manager..

If you are interested in being a part of this survey, email far@far.org.nz and we will provide more information and pass your details to Beef + Lamb NZ.
