Researchers at the University of Illinois, Illinois State University, Western Illinois University, and Southern Illinois University are conducting research to understand what factors influence farm success in the state of Illinois and to learn about farm experiences. We are surveying about 500 farmers in total.
This survey will gather anonymous information about the benefits people gain from farming, and the barriers and supports they have for their work. The research will help policy makers, agencies, and farm groups to understand whether there are barriers to farm ownership, activity, and success faced by people in the state.
