Summary
A convenience sample of graziers, and a few representatives of agribusiness, were surveyed in each of the five Queensland DPI Regions. A total of 65 completed survey forms were returned. The feedback collected covered four areas: general information about respondent; monitoring seasonal conditions; 'big-picture' information; and scaled attitudinal responses. In central Queensland, eight members of Local Drought Committees, who had been exposed to many of the Aussie GRASS products, were also surveyed. This sample was kept separate from other survey feedback in order to obtain a comparison with the convenience sample for that region. Detailed responses to all questions are given, including all individual responses received from open questions.
