A national survey is being extended through the weekend to gather insight from farmers who plant cover crops, as well as farmers who don't. Farmers are encouraged to access the National Cover Crop Survey online at bit.ly/CoverCrop23. The anonymous survey typically takes 10 to 15 minutes to complete. Collected insight will help guide research, communications, seed development, and more.
This is the seventh National Cover Crop Survey conducted by the USDA-NIFA Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program, Conservation Technology Information Center (CTIC) and the American Seed Trade Association (ASTA). It is open to farmers of any crop.
Survey answers are anonymous. Participating farmers can request more information on cover crops at the end of the survey. They can also opt in to be included in a drawing for one of three $100 Visa gift cards. Visit bit.ly/CoverCrop23 to take the survey.
