Can panel members have the
results of the surveys? |
|
In order for the panel to be truly
representative, FRI does not allow access to information that other farmers do not have.
From time-to-time, FRI asks "extra" questions for general information. The
results of these extra questions are put at the bottom of the next survey letter. These
questions may include topics such as: tobacco usage, presidential elections, reading
habits (magazines), etc. |

| 2. |
Does FRI sell their names to
other mailing lists? |
| |
We have never sold farmer's names and
addresses to anyone. That would break our confidentiality pledge. The panel members' trust
on this confidentiality to the point that panel members are willing to answer questions
that may be quite personal. |

Can panel member points be
transferred? |

Panel member may transfer their point and
survey responsibilities to another member of the family. |

Can panel members accumulate
their points from year to year? |
| |
Panel members are allowed to accumulate
their points from year to year. Doing this allows the panel member to cash in their points
on more expensive item from the premium list. |
