Attitudes towards ELMS Questionnaire

[GunnJR]

Hello, my name is Jamie Gunn, I am a student at Harper Adams University and currently undertaking my final year research project. The project is looking at the attitudes of farmers towards plans for the Environmental Land Management Scheme and the phasing out of CAP, more details of which have have been provided by the Government within the last couple weeks.

I would like to ask for 5 to 10 minutes of your time in order to complete this short questionnaire to help with my research and would greatly appreciate your participation. All responses are anonymous and will be used for research purposes only.

Thanks so much for the responses so far.

Would be really grateful for a few more to provide their opinion. Should take no longer than 5 minutes.

Done. Your questionnaire might’ve asked if we are landowners or tenants, as I think the answer to how positive we are to ELMs , May well be influenced by this.

I started it but gave up, too many questions weren't things I agreed with or disagreed with. There needs to be a 'neither agree nor disagree' choice.

I don't know if this fits with your analysis regime but a neither agree not disagree .. or even uninterested could be an option ?

I didn't feel able to answer some questions because I had no strong opinon.

I fail to understand how producing food is not "Environmentally friendly" .. given the alternative is all humans die.

Yes definitely, I can include any alternative opinions or thoughts regarding the scheme and questionnaire within my research, it is all important to gain an understanding of the way farmers feel about the scheme. Which questions would you say you were uninterested by or had no strong feelings towards?

TBH I'm not interested in any of ELMS.

I want to grow high quality food for people to eat .. not run a Zoo, park or forest. If I did I would have gone into that field of work .. I won't be doing any of this stuff.

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to complete this - had 55 responses so far which is great.

There is still just over a week left before the survey closes if anyone else would like to provide their opinion on ELMS, the more the better.

Many thanks
