Thursday, August 13th, 2020 -- 9:07 AM
(Wisconsin Ag Connection) -The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced a new annual survey of farmers, ranchers and private forestland owners.The questionnaire will help the agency understand what it is doing well and where improvements are needed, specifically at the Farm Service Agency, Natural Resources Conservation Service and Risk Management Agency. A selection of 28,000 producers will receive the survey over the next few weeks, but all farmers are encouraged to take the survey at farmers.gov/survey. This survey is part of the President's Management Agenda, which requires High Impact Service Provider agencies across the federal government, including FSA and NRCS, to conduct annual surveys to measure and respond to areas needing improvement.
The survey consists of 20 questions and takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. Responses are confidential, and individual responses will be aggregated. The survey will be open for at least six weeks and will be closed once USDA receives a 30 percent response rate.
