Eau Claire County farmland preservation survey report, 2013

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to gather opinions with respect to farmland preservation and agricultural issues in Eau Claire County. Eau Claire County officials identified two populations to include in the survey: agricultural stakeholders (farm operators and persons involved in businesses related to agriculture) and rural residents (households outside of the cities of Eau Claire and Altoona). The questionnaires for these two populations were very similar. The primary difference was the addition of several questions on the agriculture stakeholder version.
