Abstract

This paper presents some of the results of a survey of farmers carried out in 1992. This survey established the factors that influence a farmer's decision to plant trees. It also determined farmers' attitudes to forestry in general. The impact of the conversion of agricultural land to forestry on agricultural output and workload on the farm was also established.
