The American Soybean Association (ASA) is collaborating with the Conservation Technology Information Center (CTIC) and USDA’s Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education (SARE) program to learn more about the use of cover crops as a conservation tool on U.S. farms.

If you currently use cover crops, this is your chance to report what works and what doesn’t work.  If you do not use cover crops, you can help us understand why not and what you feel is needed to encourage adoption of this farming practice. 

To access the survey, click here: Cover Crops Survey. Once you complete the survey, you will have the opportunity to register for two $100 gift card drawings. Please see more information from CTIC below.

CTIC is seeking farmer input on cover crops as a conservation option on U.S. farms. This survey will take 10 minutes or less and is for both farmers who use cover crops and farmers who do not use cover crops. Just a few minutes of your time will help improve cover crop programs and efforts to increase access to information and assistance.

If you are a producer, please fill out the survey.  If not, feel free to forward to your contacts who either can complete the survey as a producer or further distribute the survey to producers.

To access the survey, click here: Cover Crops Survey. Your answers will remain completely anonymous.

For 10 minutes or less, you could receive a $100 gift card

After completing the survey, you will have the opportunity to register for two $100 gift card drawings. Gift card registration takes place at a separate website to ensure that your responses to this survey remain completely anonymous.

Please respond by Jan. 31, 2014, to be eligible for the gift card drawing.

The survey is sponsored by the USDA Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program and carried out by the Conservation Technology Information Center (CTIC).
