We’re kicking off a fourth year of the Wisconsin Cover Crop Survey after reaching nearly 100 farms to date. If you use cover crops, we are looking for high-quality on-farm data to help improve our understanding about the who, what, why, where, and when of cover crops.
Join us!
How it works:
Fill out a survey this fall on one field or set of fields where you cover crop (online or paper options available).
A kit will be mailed to you in the fall for you to collect and mail samples of your cover crop in the fall and again in the spring. We will test biomass and forage quality and do a nutrient analysis on your samples.
We are limited to sixty sampling kits for the entire state so please sign up as soon as possible to ensure your spot in this year’s project!
As a thank you for your partnership:
Farmers receive a $25 stipend for filling out the survey or a $100 stipend for also contributing cover crop samples.
We send you your FREE results on cover crop biomass, nutrient analysis and forage quality
