      abstract = {Today we are moving into a world of economic  justification, optimal resource allocation and public  opinion recognition. A world where there is a rationale to  further explore and develop the contingent valuation method  (CVM) for valuing quasi-private goods. In this paper, the  traditional CVM is adapted to value agricultural  information services provided free of direct charges by  private and government sources, in the high rainfall, sheep  producing region of Western Australia. The study is  designed to ensure the survey sample and the questionnaire  itself do not introduce significant biases. The traditional  CVM terminology, willingness to pay" is replaced by  "maximum price" and "maximum value". Valuation questions  used in the survey are based on hypothetical scenarios  however, a payment vehicle is not used. To assess these  changes the validity of the adapted CVM is discussed.},
