WA --- 5
INTRODUCTION
Hello, my name is (FULL NAME) from TQA Research in Melbourne. We're conducting an important national survey in
the grains industry. This is not a commercial survey, it has to do with grains research. Could I please speak to the
main farmer on the property?
IF REFUSE:
I realise there are a lot of surveys conducted with grain growers these days, but this one is really important and I’d be
happy to call you back at a more convenient time.
* RE-INTRODUCE IF NECESSARY
It will become obvious who the Survey is being conducted for shortly - it's purely for research purposes.

Taking all grains into account, how many acres, not hectares, did you sow last season?

IF LESS THAN 300 ACRES - THANK AND END
