Sheep Industry Brexit Research Study

This survey is being conducted as part of my Honours Research Project in the Rural Business Degree at the University of Plymouth and the Duchy College.
If you are a livestock farmer within the United Kingdom, who has sheep, I would be very grateful if you could aid with my research and take five minutes of your time to complete this short survey.
This survey is interested in the current business practices and intentions of farmers post-Brexit and is completely confidential.

Here is the link to the survey: https://plymouth.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/survey-of-farmers-with-sheep-within-the-south-west-uk

Thank you for your time.

Hello,

Thank you very much for taking the time to participate in my research. I should have fixed the issue with it not liking some post codes now. I would be very grateful if you wouldn't mind giving it another go.
Many thanks.
All the best,

Lucy.

Won’t accept my post code either, do wonder how you give a post code in only letters ?

There seems to be a number of issues with the questonare, question 1 doesn’t work and it would seem neither does question 15b
You also ask if any workers are from the European Union, as we are still members then I and my staff are all from the EU. Did you mean are they from mainland Europe ?

Yes that is what I meant, I shall have a look at question 15b and see how/ why it is malfunctioning.
Many thanks,

Lucy,
The sheep industry would have “hardly” any people employed from Europe, the slaughterhouses and Dairy sector will be by far the highest employers of Europeans.
I don’t know any sheep farms employing Europeans, yet I can only think of a handful of dairy farms that don’t.
Hope this helps (y)
