Our new report in collaboration with The Sustainability Consortium (TSC) provides actionable insights on the complex relationship among farmers, their operation’s production data and conservation.

We surveyed 610 row-crop farmers of all sizes from across 42 states to understand their perspectives on farm-level data collection and sharing. 

We asked questions like: 

  • How much data do they collect? How do they collect it? 
  • How do they manage their data and use it to make decisions? Why that particular method?  
  • Who do they trust with their data? Why or why not? 
  • What are the biggest barriers they face related to collecting and sharing data? 
  • What opportunities and incentives do they see to collecting and sharing more than they are today?
