National Cover Crop Survey Open for Farmer Input

U.S. farmers are invited to participate in the eighth National Cover Crop Survey being conducted by the Conservation Technology Information Center (CTIC), Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE), and the American Seed Trade Association (ASTA). Farmers can share their insights in the 15-minute online survey, whether they use cover crops, formerly used them, or have never planted them. “The National Cover Crop Survey is a tool that helps policy makers, agribusiness, commodity organizations, cover crop advocates, farmers and others understand how farmers think about cover crops and make decisions around adopting the practice,” according to Rob Myers, a University of Missouri professor and regional director of the North Central Region SARE program.
