The response pattern from owners and workers on FACE and non-FA
farms was similar when they were asked to rate the use of pesticides between
1 (always bad) and 10 (always good). The mean rank increased
from 62.4 for FA farm owners, to 88.08 for non-FA farm owners, to
107.39 for FA farm workers, to 167.57 for non-FA farm workers
(Supplementary Table 5) indicating an increasing commitment to
pesticides, with a higher mean rank reflecting a higher proportion of
responses towards the ‘always good’ end of the Likert scale
