  2. Purpose • Findings are based on Missouri Farmer Today’s 2011 Preference Survey. • Survey conducted entirely by mail. • Sample represents named records in Farm Market iD’s database of farmers in Missouri with 100+ acres of corn and/or 100+ acres of soybeans. • Six publications were of interest for this study: • Farm Journal • Midwest Ag Journal • Missouri Farmer Today • Missouri Ruralist • Successful Farming • Today’s Farmer Missouri Farmer Today 2011 Preference Study — 1

  3. Method • Sample of 800 was selected in systematic fashion by Farm Market ID and Readex Research from Farm Market ID’s database of farmers in Missouri with 100+ acres of corn and/or 100+ acres of soybeans. The sample for the survey represented approximately 6,800 named individuals at the time of sample selection. • Data was collected via mail survey from February 3 to March 7, 2011. • The survey was closed for tabulation with 356 usable responses—a 45% response rate. To ensure representation of the population of interest, those classified in the following counties were excluded from tabulation: Barton, Jasper, Newton, McDonald, Cedar, Dade, Lawrence, Hickory, Polk, Greene, Stone, Jefferson, St. Francois, Perry, Cape Girardeau, Bollinger, Scott, Mississippi, New Madrid, Pemiscot, Dunklin, Stoddard, Butler and Ripley. This resulted in 298 usable responses. Most results are based on the 288 who indicated they have read or looked through at least one of the six studied publications. • As with any research, the results should be interpreted with the potential of non-response bias in mind. • Margin of error based on 288 usable responses is ±5.6 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.
