Learning Objectives: • Create effective targeted surveys • Gain theme ideas for future exhibits and interaction method • Documenting outreach • Results – what they can do for you
What Makes an Effective Survey • A topic they know about and are willing to talk about • Common theme to farmers and non-farmers • Data you can learn from, share and report • Data to determine new learning goals • New outreach areas to explore
Survey Theme Ideas • Farmer health awareness • Boots and back safety • PPE • Noise induced hearing loss • Tractor safety & ROPS
The Survey • Focused questions • <10 questions • Best to have it on one side • ½ sheet looks less painful to reluctant survey takers • Multiple choice questions • Fill in the blanks get skipped

Boots and Back Survey • FT farmers- half in constant pain • All respondents – 50% in occasional pain • Pain management? • OTC by FT farmers • Alternative ideas for others – stretching, hot/cold therapy, chiropractor
Boots and Back Survey • Physical therapy retrained me in doing daily tasks – it was a lifesaver!” • “I now have custom-fitted work shoes – wish I had them 30 years ago when they would have done me more good.” • “positioning, pacing, prevention”
PPE & Safety • Determine the safety awareness and attitude of agricultural workers • Demographics and type of farmer
PPE & Safety • Rate your safety attitude • Types of PPE they have available • How often do they use it • Most hazardous task at farm • What type of safety training interested in
Noise Induced Hearing Loss • “start young” • “use it all the time” • “keep hearing protection handy and in several places” • Nearly all felt that NIHL was preventable and could become a disability
Conclusion • Starts a conversation • Introduction to program • Gathers data for evaluation purposes • Data for publications
