Summary
A convenience sample of graziers, and a few representatives of agribusiness, were surveyed in each of the collaborating States and the Northern Territory. A total of 217 completed survey forms was returned. The feedback collected covered four areas: general information about respondent; monitoring seasonal conditions; 'big-picture' information; and scaled attitudinal responses. In addition, eight members of Local Drought Committees in central Queensland, 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. Summaries of responses to all questions are given on a State and Territory basis. In order to obtain detailed responses, on a regional basis, it is necessary to go to the publication for that particular State or Territory.
