Cover Crops Survey Slideshow

During the winter of 2012-13, the Conservation Technology Information Center (CTIC) carried out a survey of farmers who have grown cover crops.  A short survey instrument of a dozen questions was developed with help from steering committee members of the Midwest Cover Crops Council.  The survey was distributed at several farmer conferences in the Midwest over the winter, and was also sent out in an online format to individuals across the U.S.   A total of 759 farmers completed the survey.  The farmers who completed the survey used cover crops on about 218,000 acres in 2012, and expected to increase that to over 300,000 acres in 2013.
