The overall aim of the survey is to understand farmer intentions towards future planning with a focus on a number of activities, specifically responses, challenges, perceptions and diversification activity. In order to achieve this, it is envisaged that the study will comprise the following: Administer an opt-out phase comprising a postal letter to 12,000 contacts, with reply paid envelope and adjustments of contact's database for main survey returns. Based on the James Hutton Institute's previous experience an opt-out of approximately 20% is expected. It is anticipated that the survey will take no longer than circa five months to complete with delivery time spread over two financial years (2022-23 and 2023-24) Individual surveys should take no more than 25 minutes to complete. Survey questions will be provided to the supplier, with opportunity to comment, clarification and training of CATI operators. Given the nature of agricultural businesses it is anticipated that weekend and evenings may be the most appropriate times to conduct interviews.

For in-house instruments output data must be supplied to the James Hutton Institute in CSV format.

This project is subject to a fixed budget, although we anticipate 2500 respondents with an interview duration of 25 minutes this may change to meet budgetary requirements. Pricing for number of respondents is preferable in blocks of 500 to accommodate this.
