Share price is set by the farm owner in 76 percent of the survey cases. Sixteen percent report
that the owner and/or manager and members are involved in price setting. Only two respondents
mention a core group setting share price. Respondents were asked to rate the importance of factors
considered when determining share price, on a scale of 1 (least important) to 5 (most important).
Table 6 shows the percentage of respondents who indicated 4 or 5 on the scale for each factor and
average responses.
