AgriSearch Strategy Manager Jason Rankin said, “It has been over ten years since AgriSearch last undertook a significant survey of dairy farmers. There have been many changes in the sector since that time and this survey will give us an invaluable insight into how AgriSearch can best meet the present needs of the sector.
“The first of our objectives in our five year strategic plan was to place the farmers needs at the heart of research and innovation in Northern Ireland. We will use the findings of this survey to articulate farmers’ research and innovation needs to government and academia.”
The survey can be found HERE and will be open until Monday 5th May. A survey on the research and innovation needs of beef and sheep farmers will be carried out later in the spring.
