      abstract = {Farm surveys are an indispensable tool for use at all  levels of agricultural policy and in important phases in  agricultural economics research. This paper is an attempt  to synthesise some of the more important recent discussions  that have centred round the roles of surveys in economics  in general and in farming in particular. Farm surveys are  comparatively recent in Australia. There is need for more  of them, covering not only technical and financial data,  but personal, subjective and institutional data also. Such  surveys should be regarded as prerequisites for more  effective policy-making in agriculture, and as such,  provision for them should he incorporated within policy for  its guidance and evaluation.},
