Crop Management With or Without Cover Crops

OMB 0536-0080 · USDA/ERS.

OMB 0536-0080

The proposed data collection will use a survey of corn and soybean farmers in the Midwestern U.S. to study farmers’ current management practices as well as how their crop management may change with a cover crop. It will also explore farmer choices for participating in programs that support cover cropping, using contract enrollment questions to examine how aspects of contract design affect farmers’ willingness to enroll land. The survey will be designed for farmers with and without a history of cover cropping in Federal programs.

The latest form for Crop Management With or Without Cover Crops expires 2027-12-31 and is listed under ICR 202502-0536-002.
