The 2024 Conservation Practice Motivations Survey mails to nearly 43,000 agricultural producers across the U.S. June 24 with an invitation to respond early online. Paper questionnaires mail July 8. Participate in the survey online at agcounts.usda.gov, by mail, or fax. By responding, you can help shape the future of conservation and agriculture. Your input will be used to improve voluntary conservation programs, including technical and financial assistance. With better data to help us understand how conservation fits into existing agriculture and forest management operations, program resources can be focused on where they will be most effective.

All information provided is used for statistical purposes only and remains confidential by law. Visit nass.usda.gov/go/cpams, for more information.
