Abstract:

During the course of the paper given by Mr. Knapper from Makrotest it was mentioned that interviews with farmers can only be carried out by industrial interviewers. In the contrary we found that discussing political problems with farmers can not be done by employing interviewers specialised in technical problems but by interviewers who are well acquainted with the local situation such as teachers, people from the civil service etc. and that it would be absolutely unwise to employ industrial interviewers who may be well acquainted with problems in connection with machinery etc. but do not know the local situation.
