Here are the screening questions for the interviewer to ask before the respondent does the survey.
1. Are you a resident of Saskatchewan? If yes, continue. If no, terminate. 2. Do you currently own or work for a farm operation? If yes, continue. If no, terminate. 3. Are there overhead power lines on the farm and do you move things such as equipment or grain bins on occasion? If yes, continue. If no, terminate.
If they meet the above criteria, they continue with the survey. They should be told it will take about five minutes of their time to complete the survey. By participating in the survey, they can enter to win a Saskatchewan Roughrider retro jersey (valued at approximately $200). Contest rules and regulations are available if the respondent would like to see them.
