2009 Precision Agricultural Services Dealership Survey Results
In the spring of 2009, Crop Life magazine and Purdue University’s Center for Food and
Agricultural Business conducted a survey of crop input dealers for the 14th consecutive year. In
February, a questionnaire was mailed to 2500 Crop Life retail crop input dealership readers
across the US. (See Appendix I to this report for a copy of the questionnaire.) A total of 258
questionnaires were returned, with 241 being usable. This provided an effective response rate of
9.6 percent, the lowest response rate in the 14 year history of the project. (In prior years,
response rates have ranged from a high of 38 percent in 1996 to a low of 11 percent in 2001 and
2008.)
