Reactions
& Comments:
With the
exception of veterinary services and feed for animals, the vast majority of
farm spending is done locally. Veterinary
and feed services are not used frequently and these services are not purchased
locally.
Good service was
often mentioned as a way to induce further local spending on agricultural
products or services.
There were
minimal written comments concerning farming.
