Who should complete this survey? Anyone who is involved in agricultural production in Texas. This includes farmers, ranchers, agricultural landowners, agricultural employees, and agribusiness owners.
What is the purpose of this survey? Tiffany Dowell Lashmet and Dr. Justin Benavidez received grant funding from Texas Corn Producers to analyze current estate and business planning needs for agricultural producers in Texas. This survey will provide the data needed to conduct that analysis and complete the report that will be provided to Texas Corn Producers.
Where will the data be shared? The raw data--that provided by individuals completing the survey--will not be shared. No one other than Lashmet and Benavidez will see the individual surveys. Results will be compiled and only the aggregate data will be shared. We have drafted this survey in a manner intended to protect a respondent's identity. If there are any questions you do not wish to answer, you are free to simply skip those particular questions.
