Federated Farmers Rates Survey
In late August 2009 Federated Farmers surveyed its members on their local authority rates for the 2009/10 rating year compared to 2008/09 rating year. This was in response to a much larger than usual number of member calls complaining about rates increases triggered by huge 2007/08 revaluations coming into effect for the 2009/10 rating year.
