Results from a recent survey concerning Kansas farm operator opinions on farm and public policy views are presented and analyzed. The survey results indicate general support for the current agricultural commodity programs. Contentious issues include conservation and environmental policies, production risk and crop insurance, and international trade. Multinomial logit (regression) analysis reveals statistical relationships between operator characteristics (e.g. age, education, farm size) and policy views. Self-interest is found to be a determinant of operator opinion by sales class.
