Farmers happy in their work
Wellington reporter Any belief that fanners are a mercenary lot, in the business for the money, has not been substantiated by a survey of 3000 New Zealand farmers just completed by Lincoln College. The survey listed nine reasons — in order of preference — why fanners like what they are doing, and showed that emotional satisfaction predominated. The nine are: — A job that offers a sense of fulfilment and of
satisfaction. A source of income. A way of life. A job as one’s own boss. An outdoor life, close to Nature. A means of accumulating capital. A means of providing Job opportunities for one’s family. Some opportunity for leisure. A standing in the community.
