In 2016, as they have every five years since 1996, they partnered with Colorado State University to frame a survey that would evaluate the public's attitudes about such issues as food prices, food safety, pesticide use, environmental practices, wildlife and agriculture, animal welfare, land use, population growth and agricultural land preservation, among other things. This report has a particular focus on how a respondent's history and depth of experience in agriculture may influence their opinions on several key issues.born digitalreportsengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
