Check with Simon Waseen at the U of S - he has done a number of surveys
(organic) with producers.  He may know of others.  His email address is -
asw126@duke.usask.ca  Ph: 966-4027  Jenn Bromm with the OACC is also
interviewing organic farmers and asking some of these types of questions (I
think).  Email: jennifer.bromm@usask.ca

Subject: [lofo List] producer surveys?

Hi;

I've received a sample "food interests" survey from a fellow
at UC Santa Cruz (Centre for Agroecology and Sustainable Food
Systems) that I think can be easily adapted and expanded for use
in Saskatchewan.  I'll try to get it onto the web very soon.

Does anyone know of any surveys of producers with respect to their
marketing of their products, their access to (local) markets, regulatory
hurdles, etc.?  SOL and SOD and the NFU might be the best resources for
this information (if any work has been done).  Can the producers on the
list identify issues and survey questions that should be asked?

Best regards,
Daryl
