This report analyzes selected practices and socio-economic variables of a sample of 102 Jordanian highlands custom equipment operators. The survey instrument (questionnaire) was developed by researchers at the National Center for Agricultural Research and Technology Transfer (NCARIT) in the Machinery Unit and the Monitoring and Evaluation Unit (MEU). The draft questionnaire was field-tested in Ramtha and Irbid by researchers from these two units. The questionnaire was revised to take into account the results of the field test, then it was duplicated at NCARTT and distributed to regional MEU field staff. The custom operators were interviewed by the regional field staff of the MEU. Four Jordanian highlands Regional Agricultural Service Centers (RASCs) were selected for these interviews. The purpose of the survey was to provide some initial quantitative data to NCARTT Sections and to the MOA regarding the group which provides custom tractor-based services to Jordan Highlands farmers
