FORMER Condamine farmer Methuen Morgan is on a mission to find out exactly what farmers think about coal seam gas mining.
Mr Morgan is undertaking a major survey as part of his post-graduate research at the University of New England on farmers' thoughts and feelings about the prospect of coal seam gas mining on their own or a neighbour's property.
The study has been designed to give him an understanding of the extent to which anxiety about coal seam gas mining is contributing to farmers' overall levels of stress.
He said he hoped the results would contribute an unbiased, scientific perspective to the debate about coal seam gas mining.
"I've seen coal seam gas mining slowly advancing on Condamine landholders for a couple of years," he said.
