Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening, my name is [insert] from Rural Press. We are conducting a quick survey with wool producers on behalf of ‘Bestprac’ as they are keen to gain a better understanding of how they can assist producers further within the ‘Bestprac network’. Bestprac is an Australian Wool Innovation funded network. The aim of this research is to ensure this network is meeting the needs of all pastoral wool producers.


This is not a sales call. Your responses will remain confidential and will be combined with those of other participants. The survey will take approximately 5 minutes and we are only after your honest opinions - there are no right or wrong answers. Is this a convenient time to conduct the survey or would you prefer that I call back?
