All participants at the annual Direct seeding workshop and meeting of the SSCA were asked to complete a copy of the Farmer-Helping-Farmer survey to enable the staff to provide advice to purchasers of equipment or beginning Direct Seeders in their area. This service is at no cost to farmers , and will not be given out to commercial businesses for sales purposes. It has proven itself to be very valuable in the providing of good, solid information that farmers can use in making decisions.
