Farmers across the United States—whether they use cover crops, formerly used them, or have never planted covers—are invited to share their insights on cover crops in the National Cover Crop Survey being conducted by the Conservation Technology Information Center (CTIC), SARE, and the American Seed Trade Association (ASTA). This is the 8th survey in the research series, which began in 2012.
The anonymous survey takes about 15 minutes to complete. Farmers who complete the survey can enter a drawing to win one of three $100 Visa gift cards.

Data collected through the surveys has a powerful impact throughout agriculture, according to Rob Myers, a University of Missouri professor and regional director of the North Central Region SARE program.
“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,” Myers explains. “Previous surveys have been used in Congressional testimony, cited in academic research, used by educators to help share information to help farmers succeed with cover crops, and more.”
